 | | I remember writing record producer Thomas Clear in the throes of his transfer of Albert Coates (1882-1953) and the London Symphony of Mozart's "Jupiter" Symphony, a performance as hysterical as it was energized, massive and sparklingly resonant at once. |
 | | Everything about Albert Coates was larger than life, a huge man with a huge talent, more than often under-utilized by record producer Fred Gaisberg of EMI. |
 | | The Russian-born Coates was the spiritual heir of Nikisch, delineating clear lines and spare portamenti, but Coates' perspective was large, after Napravnik and competitive with Mengelberg, so that Coates formed and invigorated the LSO to rival any of the panoramic canvasses of the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam. |
