ERNEST BLOCH (1880-1959)
Schelomo • "Israel" Symphony

 

"Schelomo receives its mead of barbarous splendour at the hands of Nelsova and Abravanel. The recording is a
shade too warm but Nelsova (who recorded far too little) who studied the piece with the composer demonstrates her
familiarity and sympathy with the piece. This is essential as Schelomo is one of those works that can easily seem
nondescript if the artists involved are unengaged. In that sense it is rather like the Bax
cello concerto (still awaiting its ideal exponent on disc). This is Nelsova's second, recording of the work (1). The
feverish grip of the music is strongly asserted.
The Israel Symphony, like Schelomo, is a single movement although
the work falls into sections each of which Vanguard have banded. It does not share the gaudy barbarity of Schelomo. I
would place it in the company of the symphonies of Respighi (Drammatica) and Dohnanyi (1 and 2) or indeed Bloch's epic C
Minor Symphony. He uses five solo voices in the finale and provided words only to give the voices syllables to sing
rather than the usual vocalisations. In fact the score directs that the singers are to be placed among the orchestra.
The music is less self-consciously Semitic than in Schelomo. Sidney Finkelstein's notes claim the splendour and
turbulence of Biblical times. I hear none of that but there is no mistaking the concise excitement and generalised
splendour (almost Mahlerian) of the Allegro agitato. The Symphony is not otherwise available.
This decently
recorded disc is certainly well worth seeking out." --Rob Barnett, Classical CD Reviews, September 2000

"A fitfully available Utah Symphony coupling of Israel and Schelomo under Maurice Abravanel (Vanguard 08.4047.71)
featured superior cello playing from Zara Nelsova (her third Schelomo on disc) and more vigorous orchestral playing.
--Rob Cowan", Gramophone, 3/2000 (from the review of the CdM Russian Season issue under Evgeni Svetlanov)

"The Israel Symphony doesn’t get played very often (even for Bloch) owing to its finale, which requires
five vocal soloists singing brief devotional phrases in Hebrew and English before the piece achieves a peaceful close.
Before that there’s a brief introduction followed by a big, rhapsodic Allegro agitato in the composer’s
ripest “Jewish” style. The only previous major recording was Maurice Abravanel’s on Vanguard, though
Svetlanov (of all people) also made one just before his death. Abravanel’s was very good, and a bit fleeter than
this newcomer; Svetlanov’s was not so special." --David Hurwitz, Classics Today (from the review of the
Naxos reissue under Dalia Atlas)

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Zara Nelsova, one of the world's great cellists, was
born in Canada of Russian parentage and educated in England. Now a citizen of the United States, she has toured
internationally since her debut at the age of twelve. She performed Bloch's Schelomo under the direction of the composer
himself, who was overwhelmed by the beauty, intensity and understanding of her interpretation.
For more than three
decades, the names of Maurice Abravanel and the Utah Symphony were virtually synonymous. His tenure as Music Director
lasted from 1947 until his retirement in 1979. Under Abravanel's leadership, the Utah Symphony grew into one of the
finest and most respected orchestras in the country. He led the Utah Symphony on four triumphant international tours.
Born in Greece of Spanish and Portuguese parents, Abravanel was raised in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he first
conducted at the age of 16. He studied in Berlin with Kurt Weill, enjoying a close collaboration with the composer that
later led to conducting the premieres of all of Weill's American productions. After debuts in Europe at renowned houses,
including the Berlin State Opera and Paris Opera, Abravanel was engaged in 1936 to conduct the Metropolitan Opera, then
the youngest conductor ever to step to its podium.
Currently Abravanel is artist-in-residence at the Berkshire
Music Center at Tanglewood, where he was director in 1982. He was the director of the Music Academy of the West in Santa
Barbara, California, from 1956-1979.
Throughout his acclaimed career, he has received many prestigious awards,
including several honorary doctorates, a Tony award for Regina (The Little Foxes), and Grammy nominations for his
recordings of Honegger's King David (08 4031 71), Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, and Bloch's Sacred Service. On July
9, 1991, he was honored for his exceptional contribution to the cultural life of the U.S.A., receiving the President's
National Medal of the Arts.

A Technical Note:
Each Vanguard Classics compact disc is made to the highest
standards of reproduction. All purely digital discs have been recorded using the most sophisticated techniques
available.
Compact discs made from an analogue source have been meticulously transferred to the digital domain
employing the same type of tape recorder on which the masters were originally recorded. Especially designed playback
heads and modified low noise electronics, as well as the very same alignment tapes and frequency response curves
employed at the original recording sessions, have been utilized in order to ensure the widest signal-to-noise ratio and
the greatest dynamic range.
All recordings originally made with Ampex 300 series vacuum tube (valve) master
recorders have been transferred using carefully restored Ampexes. The unique 'golden glow' analogue sound characteristic
of these Ampexes is thus retained. No artificial equalization has been used.
AKG C-12 microphones were employed at
the original sessions. — Seymour Solomon, Producer, Vanguard Classics
