Review: Igor Markevitch--The Complete HMV Recordings

Currently on Erato (Warner), this 18-CD set contains all of the recordings that Markevitch made for EMI/HMV in the 1950s, mostly in perfectly decent mono sound. Included in this set are Markevitch's only two opera recordings, Glinka's A Life for the Tsar and Offenbach's La Perichole. Markevitch was one of those generalist conductors who did just about everything well. The composers represented range from Handel to Tchaikovsky to Stravinsky, Brahms, Dallapiccola, Ravel, Schubert, Haydn, and Markevitch himself, among many others. It's an amazing legacy.
