A conductor, arranger and musicologist, John Wilson is also a leading specialist in musical theatre, which he successfully directs in the UK. In 2018, he re-formed the Sinfonia of London, a studio orchestra that was in its prime back in the 1950s and recorded music for famous films such as Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo with a score by Bernard Herrmann. Today, as ever, the Sinfonia of London is comprised of the best instrumentalists in the British capital.
Exceptionally meticulous, John Wilson always stays close to the source of the works he directs, as can be seen in the ballet Ma Mère l’Oye and the greatly received Boléro by Maurice Ravel (which sounds superb with the incessantly slow tempo that gives it an almost menacing grandeur). His take on these two works form part of a contemporary edition, and the final result is subtle and full of finesse.
Wilson’s meticulousness is particularly suited to Ravel’s music, conducted here with plenty of flourish and grace whilst still maintaining that je-ne-sais-quoi that the French composer is known for. The incredibly talented musicians that form the Sinfonia of London allow the conductor to explore even the most minute of nuances. The sensuality of the music can sometimes be a little strange, perhaps even convoluted at times, but it all feels so typical of Ravel. A special mention also goes to the sound technicians at the Chandos label who do an incredible job of reproducing every tiny detail. This collection demonstrates just how nuanced music can be. © François Hudry/Qobuz
