These recordings date from those years and the flame of inspiration still burns brightly about them decades later.
A more serious stumbling block is the maestro’s decision to place the Karajan’s classic Sixth confirmed his belated arrival as a major Mahler interpreter. Horn-calls in the prelude to ‘Waldmärchen’ (‘Forest Tale’) awaken his unique nature-world; elfin woodwind fanfares intimate martial music as far as the Seventh and Eighth symphonies; the First Symphony (third movement) is germinating at the close of Part 1, the opening of the Second is already in place with the first bars of ‘Der Spielmann’ (‘The Wandering Musician’); and with ‘Hochzeitsstück’ (‘Wedding Feast’) Mahler seems to find himself in Act 2 of Wagner’s Recorded in 1996 (and originally released by RCA), the subtle detailing and nuancing of this performance indicates painstaking preparation but arrives in our living rooms sounding as if the ink is still wet on the page.
Also, few command the musical stage as Fischer-Dieskau does in a song such as ‘Revelge’, where every drop of irony and revulsion from the spectre of war is fiercely, grimly caught.As part of this dream Mahler team, Quasthoff sings ‘Fischpredigt’ with just the right unexaggerated drollery, as the superlative Berli n wind cavort around him. The grim reaper takes his time but the inevitability of what’s to come is somehow the more shocking as a result.Few who experienced Bernstein’s passionate advocacy of Mahler’s musical cause in the 1960s were left untouched by it.
But what we lost in breadth and magnitude (the acoustic was much drier then) we gained in an all-enveloping and electrifying immediacy.And so, with the biggest upbeat in music (and from days when the Festival Hall organ was complete! It was almost as if Tennstedt was striving to compensate for the constrictive sound of the hall by building the spatial perspective into his reading. 4: Reri Grist (soprano), Symphony No. At mid-price you can afford to find out. The anticipation of the silence before the brass chorale deliver the ''This is the first time I have ever heard Bernstein conduct Mahler, and I certainly hope that it will not be the last.'' He made his Berlin conducting debut with the Sixth. Bernstein’s account of the Third Symphony is as compelling an experience and as desirable a general recommendation now as when it first appeared. The critics will be as divided over its merits as they were following the live performance. If you only know the conductor from his buoyant post-authenticist work with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra you may be surprised by his force and conviction as a Mahlerian.
But it certainly isn’t the case with this Ninth, which can only be described as unmissable.An interpretation that might seem too cool is in fact superbly gauged to provide maximal catharsis by the close – and there are intrusive post-performance shots of weeping concert-goers thrown in to prove it.
But an excess of feeling can damage both opening movements (the second is a mirror of the first) if the larger rhythm is obscured. Not that straight comparisons are really in order here.
And he has an interesting fill-up in the Bach Suite 'arr Mahler', a concoction made up of movements from the Second and Third Suites, fleshed out Bach that paradoxically reminded me more of Mengelberg than ofMahler.
