奧曼第 Eugene Ormandy (指揮)
費城管弦樂團 Philadelphia Orchestra
繼先前的發行的奧曼第於1944至1958年間，為哥倫比亞唱片公司錄製的所有單聲道錄音，共120張CD，Sony唱片公司再發行奧曼第於1958至1963年間同樣為哥倫比亞唱片公司錄製的立體聲錄音全集，共88CD。其中許多為全球首度發行之錄音，還包含78首第一次發行CD的錄音。
尤金·奧曼第（Eugene Ormandy, 1899－1985）是出生於匈牙利的美國指揮家和小提琴演奏家。曾領導費城管弦樂團長達四十餘年，成就達到空前高峰。而先前他帶領明尼亞波利斯交響樂團（今明尼蘇達管弦樂團）也受到推崇。1931年某一次費城管弦樂團的演出，指揮大師托斯卡尼尼因身體狀況不佳，無法登台。當時美國古典樂界的權威人士阿瑟·賈森（Arthur Judson）便安排32歲的奧曼第上場應急。不久後，他又代替因生病無法指揮明尼亞波利斯交響樂團的亨利·維爾布魯根（Henri Verbrugghen）登台。這次的演出為他贏得明尼亞波利斯交響樂團的指揮工作，成為他第人生第一份正式指揮職務。在此之前的十年間，奧曼第則從事小提琴演奏，並指揮紐約國會劇院（Capitol Theatre）的樂團。
奧曼第於 1938 年從史托科夫斯基（Leopold Stokowski）手中接任費城管弦樂團音樂總監一職。在那段時間，他的名字和樂團的名字變得密不可分，他不但培養樂團並更進一步精煉源自前任指揮的感性聲音。「任何指揮家都會清楚反映他所演奏的樂器，」出生於布達佩斯的奧曼第曾經說過：「我的聲音就是這樣，因為我是小提琴家。」正如一位評論員所說：「奧曼第所觸及的每一首作品都具有成熟的弦樂音色，管弦樂隊更可於其周遭發光。」
奧曼第與費城管弦樂團是有史以來多產的唱片藝術家之一。 1944 年至 1968 年間，他們與哥倫比亞唱片公司（Columbia Masterworks）獨家合作。奧曼第是錄音的愛好者，他工作效率極高、樂意配合公司的計劃以製作暢銷專輯。這套專輯也就此應運而生。
這套專輯錄音的曲目幾乎涵蓋所有著名作曲家，以及許多被遺忘的人物，熟悉和陌生的作品，跨越幾個世紀，涵蓋了從巴哈父子到貝多芬、白遼士、鮑羅定、巴托克等。 專輯中有許多首度發行CD 的錄音，其中包括：奧曼迪1958年完整錄製的德布西《聖塞巴斯蒂安的殉道》（Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien），由女高音希爾德·貴登（Hilde Gueden）和維拉·佐裡娜（Vera Zorina）擔任講述者； 1962 年巴哈的 《B 小調彌撒曲》與布拉姆斯《安魂曲》； 以及海頓的《交響曲》和鮑羅丁、葛令卡、華格納、普朗克、卡塞拉（Casella）的作品，以及包括亞杜米安（Yardumian）、巴拉蒂（Barati）、羅赫伯格（Rochberg）和戴洛喬約（Dello Joio）在內的美國作曲家的創作。
《ClassicsToday》網站近期評論奧曼第在哥倫比亞時期的立體聲唱片，讚賞其性感的《天方夜譚》、出色的佛漢·威廉士《綠袖子》幻想曲、其改編之巴哈作品以及對俄羅斯音樂的特殊喜愛，包括「輝煌的柴可夫斯基《第5號交響曲》和《弦樂小夜曲》錄音，宏偉的拉赫曼尼諾夫《第2號交響曲》，以及他與羅斯托波維契合作的蕭斯塔高維奇經典《大提琴協奏曲》以及出色的《第1號交響曲》。 作曲家本人參加了這些錄音的過程，並為指揮家和管弦樂團所折服。 這些都是必聽的錄音。奧曼第生前也被譽為業內最好的協奏家，柴可夫斯基和孟德爾頌《小提琴協奏曲》的結合，體現了他與艾薩克·史坦（Isaac Stern）最高水準的真誠合作。」
所有愛樂者和評論家都可以在這套錄音中輕易找到他們最喜歡的音樂。對於奧曼第這位指揮家的眾多愛好者和收藏家來說，這套包含全新發行與重新處理錄音的全集，絕對是不可或缺的典藏。
