In his notes for Silvestri's performance of Tchaikovsky's Manfred Symphony on Testament 1129, Alan Sanders writes that Silvestri was "seldom satisfied" with his early EMI recordings, which were made hastily, included "the wrong repertoire", and utilized "the wrong orchestra" for specific works.
Given Silvestri's penchant for color and drama, you expect his Shostakovich Fifth to be first-rate and it is; I've rarely heard the last part of the Largo played with such shattering impact, with its grief-laden double basses and the slow fade to a barely consoling silence.
Silvestri out-Brits the Brits with a great Vaughan Williams Tallis Fantasia (no, his spectacular Elgar In the South, once available on a double-disc EMI Silvestri "Profiles" set is not included here).

Constantin Silvestri was a great conductor in an era of great conductors.
Silvestri's affinity for the music of his adopted country is shown by a tense yet infectious Overture to The Wasps, and by the Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis.
In the latter, Silvestri's passion almost gets the better of him, but what a heartfelt reading this is! Unfortunately, his famous recording of Elgar's In the South is not included here.

 Silvestri Conducts Bach by Constantin Silvestri at jsbach.org
Constantin Silvestri is a conductor more readily associated with the romantic and post-romantic repertoire rather than with the music of Baroque and particularly Bach.
Though it was recorded in the 1950s, Silvestri is quite aware of the peculiarities of Bach's music and he uses a smaller size orchestra and faster tempi than it was the norm at that time.
Silvestri is attentive to details and every note has a meaning for him.
