Info for Hi-Fi Fiedler
„Make no mistake: Arthur Fiedler was one of the great conductors of the 20th century. He was often dismissed as a mere pops conductor who wasted his time on Beatles arrangements and mushy theme songs from the movie of the week; his detractors apparently didn’t pay attention to his performances of “heavy” music as well as the “light.” Well, first, let’s just get that “pops” business out of the way; all it means is that Fiedler was dedicated to audience outreach, and he wasn’t too proud to draw concert-hall music from vernacular sources. These are precisely qualities that are becoming valued among today’s young conductors. And, at least on disc, Fiedler rarely performed even the most featherweight piece with anything less than integrity, and often with real verve. Furthermore, he brought that verve to the more traditional classics he performed, as well. His recording of Prokofiev’s Love for Three Oranges Suite—aside from the march, not anyone’s idea of pops fare—remains one of the best ever. Any Fiedler recording of so-called light classics is worth the attention of even the most serious of record collectors.
