The audience is undetectable.īringuier encourages the brass in particular to attempt a more Gallic timbre and the trumpets are very successful in this, the horns less so. The playing is silky smooth, the recordings have a huge dynamic range and are very detailed, surpassing even Dutoit and Abbado on the technical front, no mean feat.

The recordings were made between 2015 and 15 in the Tonhalle and are mostly live, the usual recording method in the modern era. Ironically in the modern era, the Suisse Romande Orchestra now has a very South German feel to it as evidenced in recordings of Bruckner and Strauss in recent years and in this set Bringuier is rather successful in generating a more Gallic tone from his Zurich players. It was seen as the “German Swiss Orchestra!” In fact, the Tonhalle is the “Senior Orchestra” and concerts in the wonderful acoustic of the Tonhalle were conducted by all the major names of the era, and boasted Rudolf Kempe as its Music Director for a number of years. The Zurich orchestra languished in relative recording obscurity for a generation overshadowed but its Geneva counterpart the Suisse Romande Orchestra which benefited from a Decca contract under Ernest Ansermet resulting in a whole army of recordings of primarily French and Russian music. The marketing policy of the various arms of Universal Classics continues to baffle-having recently reissued box sets of the complete orchestral works of Ravel by Dutoit/Montreal and Abbado/LSO-both sets digitally recorded and superb in every way-they now slip in with little or no fanfare this very attractive set at mid-price of new recordings conducted by talented Francophone Lionel Bringuier, winner of a prestigious conducting competition some 10 years ago and now at a young age elevated to Music Director of the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra-Esa-Pekka Salonen holds the title of overall Artistic Director.
