The result is a fine-sounding representation of Cantelli in concert - clear and full-bodied, brilliantly conveying Cantelli and the orchestra's attention to both fine detail and overall musical impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"body\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eAndrew Rose\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eROSSINI \u003c\/b\u003eOverture to The Siege of Corinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTCHAIKOVSKY \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eSymphony No. 6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e in B minor, 'Pathétique'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNBC Symphony Orchestra \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003econducted by\u003cb\u003e Guido Cantelli\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCarnegie Hall, New York, \u003cbr\u003e Saturday 21st February, 1953\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Transfer tape from the collection of Keith Bennett\u003cbr\u003e Transfer and XR remastering by Andrew Rose at Pristine Audio, May 2009\u003cbr\u003e Cover artwork based on a photograph of Guido Cantelli\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"bodysmallarial\"\u003eTotal duration: 53:46 \u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab3_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fCover Art578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab3_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fcover_art578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab3_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab3_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fcovers\/thumbs\/PASC166.jpg578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab3_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab3_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fcovers\/PASC166.pdf578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab3_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab3_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab3_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab3_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab3_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab3_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fAdditional Notes578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fcontent578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp class=\"bodybig\" align=\"center\"\u003eCantelli's NBC Concert No. 31 -

This is a potboiler\nof an overture (and that is being charitable – some have deemed it\ntrashy fifth-rate music) which Cantelli included in his first appearance\nwith the Orchestra della Scala at an open air concert on 27 July 1945\nand he gave 32 performances in all (the only Rossini overture to be\nprogrammed more often was Semiramide). After the solemn opening it\nrapidly deteriorates in musical substance and becomes merely\nrumbustious. Small wonder that Toscanini did not share his younger\ncolleague’s enthusiasm: he gave a couple of performances with the\nPhilharmonic-Symphony Orchestra of New York in 1931 but none were\nprogrammed with the NBC Symphony Orchestra although he did make the\nstudio recording. Cantelli’s performances with the NBC Symphony\nOrchestra (there was another with the orchestra on 1 January 1951)\neasily outclass his commercial recording with the Orchestra Stabile\ndell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia both in terms of performance\nand actual recording quality. But what a pity that the Cantelli\nperformance of \u003cstrong\u003eL’italiana in Algeri \u003c\/strong\u003eon 7 April 1954\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003ewas not broadcast to add to the conductor’s discography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"bodybigblue\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"\u003eTchaikovsky: Symphony in B minor, No.6, Op.74, \u003cem\u003ePathétique\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"body\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"\u003eThere are instances when the tragedy of\nCantelli’s brief career registers with overwhelming force and this is\none of them. Cantelli performed this symphony on just six occasions and\nit is worth a moment’s thought that Karajan made more commercial\nrecordings of this symphony (seven) than Cantelli gave actual\nperformances. Cantelli first conducted the symphony on 27 July 1945 at\nan open air concert during his first appearance with the Orchestra della\nScala and his last was this performance with the NBC Symphony Orchestra\non 21 February 1953 on this CD. His previous concert performance was\nwith the Philharmonia Orchestra on 14 October 1952 which was followed by\nfour three-hour session on 24, 28 and 30 October for the commercial\nrecording. As might be expected, with so short an interval between the\ncommercial recording in London and the concert performance in New York,\nthere is little to choose between them.\u003cem\u003e. \u003c\/em\u003eCantelli fully\nunderstands the emotional implications of the score which he conveys\nwithout resorting to exaggerations: the demands of expressiveness are\nmet without hysteria, tempi are well-judged in all four movements, and\nthe harrowing despair of the final movement is admirably portrayed. All\nthis is true of the live performance with the NBC Symphony Orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width: 510px;\" cellspacing=\"0\"
