-AN ARTHUR SALVATORE AS LIST DEMI-GOD AUDIOPHILE RECORDING-
DEBUSSY: IMAGES, DANSES POUR HARPE ET ORCHESTRE
CONCERTGEBOW ORCHESTRA, AMSTERDAM
BERNARD HAITINK
"I played this LP on one recent evening, not realizing beforehand how truly special it was. It was much more natural and "real" than all the hyped "contenders" I had previously played that same evening.
What distinguishes this record is its sense of "boundless openness", which is an extremely rare quality. I'm not just referring to its image size, but more to an almost infinite extension and bloom of the music. This quality is there even when the music is soft, which is important with these compositions. This implies that the recording has a very low sound-floor. It is also very natural and harmonically rich, and the dynamic gradations are subtle and complex, as in real life.
This is the finest orchestral record from Philips that I have ever heard. This LP is their equivalent of Don Larsen's "Perfect Game" in the 1956 World Series." - Arthur Salvatore
