Janos Sandor, János Ferencsik - Gold & Silver: Lehár, Delibes, Lanner, Strauss (2015)

On offer here, cunningly masked as an undesirable orphan CD, is an integral rerelease of a mainstream 1977 Qualiton album, originally titled GOLD UND SILBER: ORCHESTRAL HITS. I found a silken purse, an unfamiliar and interesting maestro, idiomatically suave Lehar standards and in the bonus tracks a super Danubian sleeper. The Lehar hits are a predictable overture/waltz selection, but the performances by Janos Sandor and the Budapest Philharmonic are ideal, ablaze with color and striking rhythmic elasticity (the Budapest rubato is more daring than the Viennese). Sandor programs the standalone concert-waltz masterpiece GOLD UND SILBER as well as rarer selections from FRASQUITA and EVA, and in the PAGANINI extract there's a stellar violin solo played by Istvan Tamas. These performances are so wholly within the authentic Lehar idiom that I rank them alongside the reference standards conducted by Paulik, Boskovsky and Lehar himself. Sandor (1933-2010), it turns out, was born to do this. He conducted and recorded extensively in both Gyor and Budapest, specializing in Bartok and Mahler, but also preferring–like Lehar–lighter, martial and occasional music. He emigrated to Canada in 1991 and was particularly active in Victoria, Edmonton and Banff with youth and collegiate orchestras.

In the brief bonus tracks the more familiar Maestro Janos (Ferencsik, 1907-84) conducts the Hungarian State Orchestra in three dance excerpts by Delibes, Strauss fils and Lanner, with the Strauss polka ELJEN A MAGYAR! just fizzing along and the Lanner Danubian discovery PESTH-WALZER having great Rakoczy-style bugle calls.
