RECORDS
IVES: FOURTH SYMPHONY (Columbia). Charles Ives once said, "I found out I could not go on using the familiar chords early. I heard something else." Indeed he did, and as a virtual recluse who had never heard a note of Schoenberg, he set down his inner music, delving into dissonance and polytonality in 1916. The work was not played until 50 years after it was written, and this first recording by Leopold Stokowski and the American Symphony Orchestra celebrates the long-delayed recognition of a major composer.
ROSSINI OVERTURES (Deutsche Grammophon). These brief episodes are gems that rank with the wisest and wittiest works of Mozart. In them Rossini displays a full range of musical motifs, from somber reveries to brilliant marches with a Pied Piper fascination. Tullio Serafin conducts the Rome Opera Orchestra with elegance and exuberance.
SCHUMANN: FOUR SYMPHONIES (Columbia). In recording Schumann's symphonies as they were originally orchestrated, Leonard Bernstein has compiled a catalogue of the composer's many moods. He deals decisively with the complicated polyphonic structure that Schumann imposed upon his gentle, lyric thoughts and puts the composer—whimsical, sad, angry—across without blurring overlaps of Teutonic bravura.
DVORAK: SLAVONIC DANCES (Columbia). At his worst, Dvoŕák can make music sound like busy work for idle hands, but he can also evoke the folk music of Bohemia echoing across silent valleys and hills. It is this Dvoŕák that George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra capture.
