Only very rarely have the orchestral versions of compositions originally written for a soloist or small ensemble managed to escape from the all too bombastic and showy sound effects of many late Romantic works. But in the case of Liszt?s Hungarian Rhapsodies this is exactly to the contrary. Many listeners are glad to flee from the pounding and wooden treatment of the keyboard by some of the young pianists to the soothing tones of the philharmonic orchestra. In Scherchen?s and the Vienna State Orchestra?s recording it is a delight to bask in the microcosm of Hungarian melodies which Franz Liszt brought together in his Rhapsodies and which he burnished with a symphonic gold patina with the help of Franz Doppler. Disdainful of all too obvious contrasts, Scherchen achieves a mildness which is nevertheless full of tension and excitement by fading in the themes as though with a dimmer. And that is not all! If you concentrate on listening to the meditative, even dynamics, you will be rewarded by becoming acquainted with all the refinements of the scoring. This recording is a joy to hear, thanks to the carefully balanced stereo technique which Scherchen, a disciple of the electronic era, employed with the utmost care ? in all his recordings ? to achieve a natural sound reproduction.
