Title: Complete Decca Recordings
Artist: Collins, Anthony
Label: Eloquence Australia
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
UPC: 028948414673
Genre: Classical Artists
Limited Edition 14CD box set including several recordings new to CD, the complete published Decca legacy of noted Sibelius conductor Anthony Collins is collected for the first time on disc. Highlights include the Sibelius symphonies and selected orchestral works with the London Symphony Orchestra, British music from Elgar, Walton, Vaughan Williams, the two Delius LPs and music by Anthony Collins himself, concertos with Moura Lympany, Ruggiero Ricci, Friedrich Gulda, Gervase de Peyer and others, and orchestral showpieces by Tchaikovsky, Falla, Humperdinck and Bizet. From the earliest days of his career, Anthony Collins (1893-1963) earned a reputation as a musician of parts: violist, conductor, arranger and composer. He had led the viola section of the London Symphony Orchestra under Beecham and Mengelberg before swapping bow for baton in the 1930s, and by then had already begun to promote the music of Sibelius. Then Hollywood came calling, and he spent the War in the US as an Oscar-nominated film composer writing for RKO Studios. He began to record for Decca directly after the War, first of all with the London Mozart Orchestra which he had founded shortly before leaving for the US. Renowned by then as a Mozartian of natural gifts, securing shapely and stylish performances independently of either the grand Viennese tradition or the period-instrument movement in it's infancy, he accompanied the pianist Friedrich Gulda - a kindred spirit of similarly mercurial imagination - in concertos and concertante works by Mozart and Strauss, and then Peter Katin in Mendelssohn, and Moura Lympany in Rachmaninov. He re-established a close rapport with the LSO, conducting them in several albums of Elgar, Vaughan Williams and Delius that have rarely been equalled for their directness of expression and intensity. These virtues still distinguish the cycle of Sibelius symphonies and tone-poems, made in the mid-50s with the LSO, from later interpretations. A generation of English and American listeners learnt their Sibelius from these recordings, and Collins's deep fellow-feeling for his music stands the test of time. The Decca recordings included a Tchaikovsky album of Capriccio Italien and Francesca da Rimini as well as a pair of his own compositions, and other masterpieces of English light music by Walton - a complete Façade - Sullivan and Grainger. Items never previously issued on CD include dance suites from Hänsel und Gretel and Der Rosenkavalier, as well as the Mozart Symphony No.33 which began his relationship with the label. The booklet offers full discographical details as well as an essay on Collins's life and career by Peter Quantrill.
