Robert Rosenberg 5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant barn owl and field mice sledding the driftss double CD from Abravanel and the Utah May 12, 2015 Sheer magnificence! from1975. Abravanel had set a high-water mark with his recordings of Brahms, Mahler, and Sibelius in the Mormon Tabernacle for Vanguard. His recordings for VoxBox offered slightly more popular fare...Tchaikovsky Grieg but were equally brilliant. Only Duke Ellington had a hipper Peer Gynt Suite. Whether performing and recording Weil Honegger Sibelius Vaughan Williams Abravanel would somehow make the Utah sound like a bigger more famous group. The three works of Holbergs Days op.40 the father of Danish literature Sigurd Jorsalfar op.56 and his wonderful Lyric Suite op. 54 with four pithy pieces ending with March of the Dwarfs with that bang ending vie with the two part Peer Gynt suite op 46 and 55 for top honors.Nothing profound or intellectual just a phenomenal miniaturist who was also literary and theatrical leaving some great stuff for an under the radar Conductor to play with a Symphony Orchestra He truly made jos own and put on the map.
