Symphony No. 1 in D major by Gustav Mahler was mainly composed between late 1887 and March 1888, though it incorporates music Mahler had composed for previous works. It was composed while Mahler was second conductor at the Leipzig Opera, Germany. Although in his letters Mahler almost always referred to the work as a symphony, the first two performances described it as a symphonic poem and as a tone poem in symphonic form respectively. The work was premièred at the Vigadó Concert Hall, Budapest, in 1889, but was not well received Mahler made some major revisions for the second performance, given at Hamburg in October 1893; further alterations were made in the years prior to the first publication, in late 1898. Some modern performances and recordings give the work the title Titan, despite the fact that Mahler only used this label for the second and third performances, and never after the work had reached its definitive four-movement form in 1896.

Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, known as the ‘Choral’, possessed an especial significance for Furtwängler: according to his secretary, Berta Geissmar, a performance of this work was always ‘a sacred occasion for Furtwängler since his earliest days’. He did not allow this work onto his programmes during the First World War when he was conducting at Mannheim, and only conducted it on special occasions afterwards, treating it always ‘as a holy ritual’. He never sought to make a studio recording of the work, perhaps reflecting his view of it as a communal experience. In addition he saw it as one of the most perfect pieces of music ever created, writing for instance of the final movement: ‘…in the entire history of music I cannot cite an example showing more clearly the formal autonomy of pure music.’

Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4 in E-flat major, WAB 104, is one of the composer’s most popular works. It was written in 1874 and revised several times through 1888. It was dedicated to Prince Konstantin of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst. It was premiered in 1881 by Hans Richter in Vienna to great acclaim. The symphony’s nickname of Romantic was used by the composer himself. This was at the height of the Romantic movement in the arts as depicted, amongst others, in the operas Lohengrin and Siegfried of Richard Wagner.

Recordings of all the Beethoven symphonies with their chief conductor are always a milestone in the artistic work of the Berliner Philharmoniker. So it was with Herbert von Karajan and Claudio Abbado, and expectations are correspondingly high for this cycle conducted by Sir Simon Rattle. Where does the special status of these symphonies come from? Simon Rattle has an explanation: “One of the things Beethoven does is to give you a mirror into yourself – where you are now as a musician.” In fact, this music contains such a wealth of extreme emotions and brilliant compositional ideas that reveal the qualities of the orchestra and its conductor as if under a magnifying glass.
On his personal approach to the performances, Sir Simon said, “You can make Beethoven too sophisticated or too elegant, you can clean him up too much. You can try to make him agree with himself when often he’s fighting with himself. I have the feeling probably that the more plain-spoken this music is, the better it is. And one knows with this orchestra, when you say ʻwill you joyfully motor this machine off the clifftop?ʼ, everybody says ʻof course we willʼ.” The concerts in which the Berliner Philharmoniker and their chief presented the symphonies in the Philharmonie in October 2015 were as thrilling as this suggests. The virtuosity of the works was revealed as impressively as their revolutionary energy. Performances in Paris, Vienna and New York followed and were rewarded with standing ovations from audiences.
The recording of the Berlin performances is available in an exclusive hardcover edition. It includes the cycle on five CDs and three Blu-ray discs as HD video, in uncompressed audio resolution and DTS surround sound. Its many extras include a video introduction with Sir Simon Rattle and a documentary about the making of the recordings with many interviews and glimpses behind-the-scenes. (more…)

Das Violinkonzert Op. 61 entstand im Jahre 1806, Beethoven schrieb es für Franz Clement, der damals als musikalisches Genie erster Geiger und Konzertmeister im Orchester des Theaters an der Wien war. Damit war klar, dass alle späteren Aufführungen dieses Werkes im Zeichen erstklassiger Violonisten stand. Kein leichtes Unterfangen für die DG, doch mit Herbert Karajan als Dirigent, den Berliner Philharmonikern und ganz besonders Anne-Sophie Mutter hatte die Plattenfirma erstklassige Voraussetzungen geschaffen. Mutter stellte bei diesem Konzert ihr großartiges Können unter Beweis, denn die von Beethoven in den Vordergrund gerückten Soloparts decken schließlich geringste Unsauberkeiten im Vortrag auf. Die Geigerin meistert jede noch so artistisch anmutende Passage mit Eleganz und nahezu spielerischer Leichtigkeit.

This is simply one of the greatest, most deservedly legendary recordings of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony ever offered to the public. Tempos and dynamics vary widely, with Fricsay always considerate of the works many thematic challenges. His handling of the subtle rhythmic gradations of the Molto vivace is peerless and prepare yourself for one of the most exhilarating Allegro assai finales this side of Toscanini. With a line up of soloists including Irmgard Seefried, Maureen Forrester, Ernst Haefliger, and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau all in their vocal prime as well, it simply doesn’t get any better than this. Deutsche Grammophon’s rich well-balanced sound is very good for it’s vintage. No matter how many performances of this frequently recorded masterpiece you may already own, don’t miss Fricsay’s!

In the most beautiful of all piano concertos it isn’t the orchestra which introduces the main theme but the piano”: Wilhelm Kempff (1895-1991) justified in this way his preference for Beethoven’s lyrical Fourth Concerto in G major. During his long, troublefree career, he played both the Fourth and “Emperor” Concertos all over the world, from the capital of his homeland Prussia, the Berlin of the Kaisers, to Japan and South America, from Scandinavia to Baalbek. He used to improvise the two cadenzas in the G major Concerto, employing a musical imagination that had been schooled in composition, and he made no exception when he recorded the work in July 1961, at the age of 66. This poet of pianism was accompanied by an orchestra he knew well, the Berlin Philharmonic, under the distinguished German conductor Ferdinand Leitner (born 1912). Kempff’s witty and sensitive approach reveals new subtleties in the heroic E flat major Concerto, the “Emperor”, a performance recorded at the same time as the G major that has frequently been singled out for the highest praise. The Penguin Guide has called it “perhaps the most refreshing and imaginative of all. Strength there is in plenty and excitement, too. [Kempff’s] range of tone-colour is extraordinarily wide, from the merest half-tone as though the fingers are barely brushing the keys to the crisp impact of a dry fortissimo.”

Fidelio may seem like an isolated phenomenon in a career overwhelmingly dominated by instrumental music. But Beethoven’s letters reveal that from his early years in Vienna he was anxious to try his hand at opera. In 1803 he got as far as composing several numbers for a grand opera, Vestas Feuer, to a libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder, Mozart’s collaborator on Die Zauberflöte. But the project foundered on the incongruity between the ancient Roman setting and what Beethoven called “language and verses that could only have come out of the mouths of our Viennese apple-women.” He continued to cast around for suitable librettos until near the end of his life, even making sketches for operas on Macbeth – a tantalising prospect – and Bacchus.
