3.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Music Poorly Served by This Performance, 2 Jun 2006
By J Scott Morrison (Middlebury VT, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Much as I love Foerster's Fourth Symphony this recording let me down, largely because it sounds like the Slovak Radio Symphony are sight-reading the work. Add to that the too-common out-of-tune brass and wind playing and the rather tubby sonics and you have a major disappointment. The symphony itself is a lovely thing, reminding me at times of Richard Strauss on a contented day. It sounds kin to Goldmark's Rustic Wedding Symphony as well. For a better performance of a Foerster work, take a listen to the release (on Naxos' sister label, Marco Polo) of his opera, 'Eva,' which I recently reviewed here.

The two smaller pieces, neither of which I'd heard before, are given so-so performances, but one can hear that they have charms of their own, particularly the fifteen minute 'Meine Jugend' ('My Youth').

I would recommend the recording by Smetacek and the Prague Symphony on Supraphon with its superior performance although it, too, has disappointing sound. This symphony deserves a modern recording with an orchestra of the caliber of the Vienna Philharmonic (and they've played it in concert, if I remember correctly) but I guess we'll have to wait for that.
