Rachmaninov, Préludes

Boris Berezovsky

Classical - Released December 8, 2004 | Mirare

Distinctions Choc du Monde de la Musique
This is about as appealing a disc of Rachmaninov's complete preludes for piano as one is likely to hear, but its impact may not be immediately evident. That caveat might at first seem a bit odd considering the first piece here is the famous Prélude in C sharp minor, one of the best known, as well as one of the loudest works the Russian composer ever penned, and one might reasonably expect that it would start the disc off with a bang. But Russian pianist Boris Berezovsky takes another approach to the work; rather than starting with the climax and trying vainly to get bigger and louder from there, he builds slowly and purposefully to a shattering climax that not only makes the performance, but redeems the piece from a century of brutal mistreatment. Berezovsky continues that approach throughout his performances, carefully and scrupulously sculpting each prelude, yet never skimping on passion, power, and energy, and ultimately delivering an effective and exciting set of performances. Though the digital sound of this 2004 recording is not quite as clear as it could be, it does have tremendous impact. © TiVo

Beethoven: Symphony No. 3, Op. 55 "Eroica" - Strauss: Horn Concerto No. 1, Op. 11 (Live)

Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra

Classical - Released September 21, 2018 | Reference Recordings

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions 5 Sterne Fono Forum Klassik
Returning to the symphonies of Ludwig van Beethoven in his Pittsburgh Live series on Reference Recordings, Manfred Honeck rigorously explores the Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, "Eroica," paired with Richard Strauss' Horn Concerto No. 1 in E flat major. Honeck's 2015 release of the Symphony No. 5 in C minor and the Symphony No. 7 in A major demonstrated his in-depth analyses of the scores and his careful consideration of evidence about performances in Beethoven's time, including documents and original sketches that revealed much about early Romantic practices. By observing the historical method and avoiding conventional approaches, Honeck has adjusted the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra's sound and brought out details and sonorities that have often been buried in mainstream performances. Honeck also calls for brisk tempos, crisp articulation, and spry, dance-like rhythms, which alleviate some of this heavyweight symphony's pugnaciousness and brings a somewhat lighter touch to the "Eroica." Strauss' Horn Concerto No. 1, featuring a polished solo part by William Caballero, is suitable filler, matching the key and moods of the "Eroica" and sharing its robust energy, though by the time Strauss composed it, the influence of Beethoven had been filtered through Schumann and Brahms, so the work shows a conservative side in youthful reaction against Wagner. Reference Recordings' sound is as clean and focused as could be desired, and this hybrid SACD gives great presence to the players and leaves a vibrant impression. © TiVo

Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 1-9

Bernard Haitink

Classical - Released September 12, 2006 | LSO Live

Hi-Res Booklet
Beethoven's nine symphonies -- what can one say? The greatest body of orchestral works ever composed? Probably. The most performed body of orchestral works ever composed? Certainly. The most recorded body of orchestral works ever composed? Absolutely. Not only has virtually every conductor recorded a Beethoven cycle, some of them have gotten to record it multiple times: Abbado, Bernstein, Solti, Karajan, and Haitink, among others. What does this proliferation tell us? Usually nothing about the music that hasn't been heard before, but sometimes something about what the conductor thinks about the music. These performances with the London Symphony Orchestra recorded in 2005 and 2006 tell what Bernard Haitink thinks about the greatest body of orchestral works ever composed. And what does Haitink think? Pretty much nothing that hasn't been thought before. His tempos are neither too fast nor too slow, but straight down the moderato. His dynamics are neither too loud nor too quiet, but right in the mezzo. His textures are clear and lucid. His colors are blended and smooth. His interpretations are solid and sincere. But what does Haitink tell us about what he thinks about Beethoven's symphonies? Pretty much nothing except that he is an experienced conductor with a superb baton technique who keeps his opinions to himself. The London Symphony's playing is enthusiastic but too often ragged around the edges for comfort. LSO Live's recording is transparent but the perspective seems to shift from work to work -- sometimes the strings are too far away, other times the brass are too close.© TiVo

Beethoven: Symphonies Nos 1 & 3

National Symphony Orchestra, Kennedy Center

Symphonies - Released September 16, 2022 | National Symphony Orchestra

Hi-Res Booklet
This live release is the first in a digital series, eventually to culminate in a physical box set, including all nine of Beethoven's symphonies. Each release will feature an illustration by Mo Willems; these were also displayed at Washington's Kennedy Center, where the music was recorded, and the graphics are reproduced on the digital (and eventual physical) releases. Conductor Gianandrea Noseda does not exactly break new ground with these interpretations, but they are vigorous works with a consistent perspective, well executed by the National Symphony Orchestra. Noseda emphasizes the brashness of the young Beethoven in both the Symphony No. 1 in C major, Op. 21, and Symphony No. 3 in E flat major, Op. 55 ("Eroica"). His tempos are brisk, and he observes the Allegro molto e vivace label on the Menuetto of the Symphony No. 1 where many conductors opt for a more graceful Mozartian quality. Surrounding the funeral march of the Symphony No. 3 with urgent, fast playing emphasizes its somber quality, and here, Noseda does not rush. The album is nicely recorded by the engineers from the National Symphony's own new label, and though applause is not retained, one imagines there was quite a bit (if it was allowed). One awaits the rest of Noseda's series with interest. © James Manheim /TiVo
