	La Folia -- Koussy’s Tchaikovsky
		Koussevitsky had a special affinity for his compatriot’s music, giving full due to its angst and heart-on-sleeve sentimentality within a context of modernist, streamlined swiftness.
		Under Koussevitsky’s baton, Tchaikovsky is as at home on the Charles as on the Volga and while there’s no shortage of outstanding recordings of Tchaikovsky’s last three symphonies, these retain their impact and should be heard for musical, as well as historical, reasons.
		Koussevitsky was also a champion of contemporary music, responsible for commissioning some of the 20th Century’s landmark pieces, including Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms and Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra.

		With its companion (8.110170, symphonies 2 and 5) this presents all Koussevitsky's commercial recordings of Sibelius excepting only the 1950 re-recording of the second symphony.
		Koussevitsky’s is a possessed performance as you will instantly hear if you sample the needle-piercing gale of sound at 14.51 onwards.
		Towards the end of the adagio Koussevitsky picks up on the concentrated deliberation of the music preparing the ground for his hieratic trombone (sadly affected by the passage of time) at 5.54 in tr.4.

		In 1913 Ravel and Stravinsky were commissioned by the impresario Serge Diaghilev to complete and re-orchestrate Khovanschina (an opera), which Moussorgsky had left unfinished.
		Their manuscript is lost, but as Ravel had always been a student of Moussorgsky's work it was altogether appropriate that the conductor Serge Koussevitsky should ask him to orchestrate Pictures at an Exhibition.
		Koussevitsky gave the first performance at the Paris Opéra on October 19, 1922.

		Serge Koussevitsky generously commissioned Concerto for Orchestra when Bela Bartok was enduring ill health and poverty.
		He continued scribbling for some time after the last movement had ended, before finally rising and leading Koussevitsky, with bent back and dragging step, to the conductor's dressing room.
		This time, however, Koussevitsky led the way with a spring in his step as Bartok shuffled quietly behind.

		Serge Koussevitsky was a champion of modern music, commissioning, among many other important works, two of the most popular orchestral showpieces in the repertoire: Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra and Ravel's orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.
		So this CD of "live" broadcast performances of both works by Koussevitsky and his great Boston Symphony Orchestra should immediately qualify as a "must-have" for historical collectors.
		If you must have a Koussevitsky Pictures, the 1930 studio version on Pearl is better played and recorded.

		The Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Serge Koussevitsky
		The current fashion for re-mastered old recordings has given remarkable insights into the performances of some of the great names in the world of conducting in the 20th century.
		Indeed Koussevitsky was one of the most tenacious figures pursuing Sibelius for the elusive and, ultimately, never heard Eighth Symphony.

		Koussevitsky might have disdained the showy popularism of the Boston Pops, but under the baton of Seiji Ozawa, detractors claim, showmanship and popular appeal has become the order of the day, leading to glitzy music-lite productions manufactured for television.
		Ozawa, more profoundly than any of the Tanglewood legends (Serge Koussevitsky, Charles Munch, Erich Leinsdorf, and Leonard Bernstein) in whose legacies he operates, has been charged with reconciling the festival with both economic and cultural realities.
		In this respect, Pincuss overview is not only a worthwhile history of the phenomenon of Tanglewood, but also a paradigmatic appraisal of Ozawas navigation of the art and administration of the classical repertory itself.

	A BRIEF HISTORY OF DOUBLE BASS TRANSCRIPTIONS
		This period coincides with the development of the modern double bass schools: the German school with Franz Simandl (1840-1913), the Italian school with Isaia Billè (1874-1961), and the French school with Éduard Nanny (1812-1943), and the emergence of a greater number of virtuosos.
		Serge Koussevitsky's (1874-1951) preference for transcriptions as a double bass soloist in the early twentieth century illustrates this situation.

		The Symphonic Dances, Serge Rachmaninoff’s last complete work, was composed initially for two pianos (there is an excellent interpretation by Martha Argerich and Alexandre Rabinovitch on Teldec [D 100109]).
		The other pieces on this CD owe their existence in orchestral form to Serge Koussevitsky.
		It was Koussevitsky who urged the composer to orchestrate the Vocalise and who suggested some years later that Rachmaninoff choose five Études Tableaux ("Picture Studies") to be orchestrated by Ottorino Respighi.

		The performance tonight is a rare treat because it recreates the complete original ballet score, including the choral parts typically omitted from concert performance.

		Heifetz reworked all three cadenzas himself, the Auer in the first movement, the Joachim in the second, and parts from both the Auer and Joachim cadenzas in the third.
		The Brahms, played with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Serge Koussevitsky, is given a more romantic performance, and has perhaps a slightly more open acoustic quality, having been recorded in Boston's famous Symphony Hall.
		Here too, the playing is immaculate and lovely, and though the long oboe solo at the start of the second movement-surely one of the most beautiful slow movements in existence-is spellbinding, the violin is even more so.

		Based upon the evidence of this disc, there is absolutely no doubt of the excellence of Koussevitsky as a conductor, or indeed of his legacy of commissions left to us through his Koussevitsky Foundation.
		Both works are played in cut versions, the Bartok with the earlier shorter coda to the finale, and the Mussorgsky with four sections omitted.
		The performances, as I have said are superb, one would have to go a very long way to hear such incandescent spine tingling life to the playing as Koussevitsky achieves here.

		In 1942, Serge Koussevitsky asked Martinů to write a symphony dedicated to his late wife, and Koussevitsky's financial buttress was critical for Martinů, who did not have other source of income outside his royalties.
		The symphony came into being gradually, due to Martinů’s long search for the appropriate opening.
