    Breathless Russian Overtures
  

*by V***P on Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2021*

If you are new to these performances, this whole album of Russian Overtures from 1994 has since been compiled 
  
on Newton Classics







  
  
     (2011) conjoined with Mikhail Pletnev’s atmospheric Enchanted Kingdom disc from 1996, also 
  
on DG







  
  
     with Pletnev leading his newly created Russian National Orchestra. These two recordings represent his earliest releases with the RNO and the start of a fruitful, if not a rather uneven, collaboration with Deutsche Grammophon as an orchestral leader.All of the selections here are lush, colourful, tuneful works, and some are rather rare on record. I was most unfamiliar with Tchaikovsky’s Overture in F, Glazunov’s Solemn Overture, and I rarely see Prokofiev’s Semyon Kotko overture on collections like these, although I appreciate his hint of the modern among the unabashéd melodiousness and overt Romanticisms from the rest of the program. Otherwise, the rest are exotic showpieces to please the masses, from Shostakovich’s jubilant Festive Overture to Mussorgsky’s more evocative Dawn on the Moscow River. Overall, the program seems a bit more substantial than Valery Gergiev’s White Nights offerings 
  
on Philips







  
  
     if not as fulfilling as Fritz Reiner’s 
  
on RCA







  
  
    , nor as idiomatic as Karl Ancerl’s 
  
on Supraphon







  
  
    .Mikhail Pletnev was never my favourite of orchestral leaders; I always thought he had more to say about music as a concert pianist. Here though, we find Pletnev and his newly created Russian National Orchestra (RNO) embarking on a brand-new contract with DG. They really seem to have something to prove too, with breathless tempos in Ruslan and Ludmilla and the Festive Overture, showcasing a new generation of Russian brass and woodwind technique. Colas Breugnon gets a bit of grandiosity opposite its syncopated playfulness, Semyon and Khovanshchina air more atmosphere than the rest, and Borodin and Rimsky are appropriately colourful. Yet these aren’t the rough turnouts from Svetlanov 
  
on Melodiya







  
  
     or Mravinsky generations earlier; there is a bit of sophistication and polish from the RNO in comparison to those old USSR recordings. The RNO sounds great, and those tricksy wind and brass licks that Pletnev forces them through are impressive.In the end, this recording’s best features are for those rare overtures mentioned before, but some might find the more familiar music to be a bit too frantic, although it is all still fun. Ruslan is probably showcased better with Mravinsky on 
  
on Scribendum







  
  
     and Colas Breugnon with Reiner mentioned earlier, although those two are very different approaches. One of my preferred Festive Overture’s is oddly that by John Williams on his 
  
Summon the Heroes







  
  
     recording, although Pletnev goes for speedy gusto comparatively, but is let down by some slight tuning issues in the brass at its opening. If you like the Romantic Russian music on this disc, it is all well played, the music is both approachable and outgoing, and Pletnev’s debut recording with the RNO is well worth seeking out. I would go for the newer Newton Classics compilation of this exact same album though, at least if it is still priced well. Recommended.

    Extraordinary...fabulous cd!!!
  

*by M***  on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2014*

Mihail Pletnev conducting the Orchestra Russian national gives us this collection of overtures from Russian composers which we admire an extraordinary and very virtuous interpretation of Glinka's "Ruslan and Ludmilla" and of the brilliant "Festive Overture" by Dmitri Shostakovich put in relief the great technique and virtuosity of the Russian school for strings,... simply extraordinary. Interesting also the Overture in F of Tchaikovsky. Anyway, a master cd.
