Background: Two unlikely pairings at first sight not just the French polish of Casadesus with the analytical precision of Rosbaud, old-school modernist, but the works themselves, Beethoven’s most public declamation and then one of his more abruptly ordered sonatas fully within his late style. Both pieces are heroic, perhaps, in the sense of presenting a personality, fully sufficient unto itself and not simply the composer’s, that is entirely impelled by a rough force of expression not so much set against the world but apart from it. ‘Casadesus and Rosbaud, though at first sight a rather unlikely partnership, agree very well on most points and produce an interpretation which is unsensational yet satisfying. The conductor shows extreme care, especially in the tuttis, yet is never unduly austere; in fact the serenity of the Adagio’s opening is most beautifully realised. The recording balance is such that woodwind solos can be heard properly over the piano, but surely what is most enjoyable is the refinement, in both concept and execution, of Casadesus’s playing.’ Gramophone, May 1972. |
