Beethoven: Symphonies

Paul Kletzki, Czech Philharmonic

Classical - Released February 25, 2011 | Supraphon a.s.

Recorded between 1964 and 1968, Paul Kletzki's respected cycle of Ludwig van Beethoven's symphonies on Supraphon rightly should be classified as a historical item for specialists, rather than as a recommended option for anyone seeking a great (and great sounding) modern set. Kletzki was an admired and popular conductor, noted for working with both European and American orchestras, and his interpretations of Beethoven are intelligent and insightful, regarded by some reviewers as among the finest of their time; the performances are still valuable for their musicality and significance among mid-20th century offerings. However, these recordings predate the movement for historically informed performance practice, so fans of late Classical and early Romantic period style will find this set of little interest, and only traditionalists will be enthusiastic about it. These analog versions don't compare well with the best contemporary digital recordings, and the sound of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra is a bit too homogenized and at times too muddy in this remastering to make the music fully enjoyable. Although the instruments can be made out clearly enough, some of their upper partials seem to have been eliminated in the reduction of tape hiss, and the ensemble's overall sound seems a little dulled in tone as a result. Artistically, there is much to appreciate here, but this box set faces serious competition from later and better sounding alternatives. © TiVo

Haydn : L'Impatiente

Julien Chauvin

Classical - Released October 4, 2019 | Aparté

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions 5 de Diapason
The Haydn series continues with the Paris Symphony No. 87. Julien Chauvin and his orchestra keep shaking us up with historical instruments listening to Haydn’s works and several other forgotten scores from the same period. All of them were commissioned for the Concert de la Loge Olympique - ancestor and model for Julien Chauvin and his musicians – and all of them sank into oblivion during the 19th century, except for Haydn’s symphonies. The record offers an opportunity to experience some rare works of Grétry, Lemoyne and Ragué, and to revive the success that they once knew. © Aparté

Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 4 & 8

Bernard Haitink

Symphonic Music - Released October 31, 2006 | LSO Live

Hi-Res Booklet
Bernard Haitink's live recordings of Ludwig van Beethoven's symphonies with the London Symphony Orchestra most assuredly aren't the last word on these masterpieces (whose recordings ever could be?), but any collector looking for solid performances that satisfy most needs would do well to check out these remarkable CDs. For example, this 2006 disc of the Symphony No. 4 in B flat major and the Symphony No. 8 in F major will likely not amaze anyone with its fairly mainstream interpretations, secure execution, or dependable sound quality, because it wasn't meant to be a sensation. The reputable playing of this world-class ensemble guarantees that the scores are accurately presented, and Haitink's straightforward, intelligent approach to the music commends this CD to the average listener and the serious connoisseur alike. While Haitink tends to maintain slightly faster than usual tempos and keeps the orchestra's tone on the lean side, these are not intended to be "authentic" versions; yet they are as carefully thought through and as polished as any period performance might be, though without any overt mannerisms or antiquarian novelties. The sound is exceptionally clean and clear on these concert recordings, even in the resonant space of London's Barbican, and there is virtually no distracting audience noise to interfere with your listening pleasure. © TiVo

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
