Beethoven - Bruckner - Hartmann - Holliger : String Quartets

Zehetmair Quartett

Classical - Released October 21, 2013 | ECM New Series

Booklet Distinctions 5 de Diapason - 4 étoiles Classica
For this 2013 ECM New Series release, the Zehetmair Quartett performs four works that vary in styles and methods, yet reflects the development of European string quartet writing. Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quartet in F major, Op. 135, is one of the seminal late quartets, which gave rise to the modern concept of the quartet as an intellectual essay, an important statement of a composer's thoughts and interior vision, as opposed to its former Classical function as a social diversion for string players. All major quartets after Beethoven are weighed against his, and while seriousness of purpose is evident in Karl Amadeus Hartmann's poignantly expressive String Quartet No. 2, and Heinz Holliger's dense and angular String Quartet No. 2, even Anton Bruckner's rather conventional String Quartet in C minor partakes of the tradition. The Zehetmair Quartett -- featuring violinists Thomas Zehetmair and Kuba Jakowicz, violist Ruth Killius, and cellist Ursula Smith -- plays with urgency and commitment, displaying a dedication to the art of quartet playing that is commensurate with the earnestness of the music. While it is not incumbent on the musicians to draw explicit connections between these works -- indeed, such linkages would necessarily be speculative -- the grouping of these four quartets invites curious listeners to explore the continuum of which they are a part.© TiVo

Bruckner: Symphony No. 3 (First Version, 1873)

Gürzenich-Orchester Köln

Classical - Released December 8, 2023 | Myrios Classics

Hi-Res Booklet
Bruckner performances already began to arrive in advance of the bicentennial of the composer's birth in 2024. Conductor François-Xavier Roth has entered the competition with a symphony series at the helm of the Gürzenich Orchester Köln, where he is chief conductor. Roth is also the conductor of his own historical performance ensemble, Les Siècles, and while his Bruckner is performed on modern instruments, there are more than traces of his specialty here in the Symphony No. 3 in D minor, WAB 103. Roth's string section is medium-sized, his brass measured, and his textures transparent rather than hefty. Those enamored of the mighty readings by a Christian Thielemann or an Andris Nelsons may find this version underpowered, but by the same token, it is an encouraging bicentennial sign that Bruckner can inspire divergent interpretations, and Roth's version is well worth hearing and comparing to others. Sample the very beginning, where Roth makes the music into an analog to the opening of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, a field of fragments out of which themes emerge. His treatment here is exceptionally subtle. His finale is also quite strong, with bits of the musical world, such as a polka, jumping out of the symphonic background; his sound is quieter, but he paradoxically creates a larger musical space. The Gürzenich Orchester Köln responds well to Roth and punches a bit above its weight. This is a promising kickoff to the rounds of Bruckner recordings.© James Manheim /TiVo

Schumann : Symphonies Nos. 1 & 3

John Eliot Gardiner

Classical - Released February 7, 2020 | LSO Live

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions 4F de Télérama - 5 étoiles de Classica
The second album in Sir John Eliot Gardiner's Schumann series with the London Symphony Orchestra travels from glorious fanfare to dream-like passages with the lively 'Spring' and 'Rhenish' symphonies. From the dramatic first trumpet-call which awakens the frozen landscape, the First Symphony is a celebration of spring. It moves through the season and a gruff folk-song Scherzo until finally a jubilant conclusion dances into summer. Desperate, heartfelt and elegant, the "Manfred" Overture opens with an urgent impetus that only increases through the work, displaying the intense strife which lies ahead for its protagonist. Schumann’s Third is one of the composer’s most impressive, painting a euphoric picture of the German Rhineland in broad Beethovenian style and closing with an exhilarating finale. © LSO Live

Bruckner: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 9

Claudio Abbado

Classical - Released September 6, 2019 | Accentus Music

Hi-Res Booklet
In 2003, following a delicate operation for stomach cancer which won him a long remission, Claudio Abbado was able to realise his last dream, the creation of a "super-orchestra" made up of the greatest musicians of Old Europe. For ten years, that great Italian conductor would lead the Lucerne Festival Orchestra every summer, giving audiences some lovingly recorded and published performances that memorably included cycles of Bruckner and Mahler which have now entered into legend. We know how Abbado's illness allowed him to open the door of the great mystery of death, rendering his musical vision profoundly human, at once intimate and metaphysical. Published by the Lucerne Festival in a sober and stripped-down format, this edition offers the Alpha and Omega of Anton Bruckner's works. This is a way for Abbado to close his own story, because Bruckner's First Symphony was his very first collaboration with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in 1969. Taking inspiration from the founding idea of Ernest Ansermet, who wanted, in 1938, to create a temporary orchestra in Lucerne in order to provide summer work for musicians from the Orchestre de la Suisse romande, Abbado created a veritable musical utopia by bringing together musicians who were completely devoted to the pleasure of making music, with no hierarchy or frippery. The result was this miracle that we can see and hear today. This performance of Bruckner's Ninth Symphony was recorded on 23 August 2013: the last concert conducted by Abbado. Although much weakened, he seems to want to stretch out time to infinity, as if to stave off the fatal moment which would come just a few months after this farewell concert. This is a serene treatment, possessed of a great calm and inner peace that has nothing to do with religion, but rather with pure music. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Bruckner: Symphony No. 4 in E-Flat Major, WAB 104 "Romantic" (The 3 Versions)

Bamberger Symphoniker

Classical - Released September 17, 2021 | Accentus Music

Hi-Res Booklet
Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony occupies a special position in Anton Bruckner's symphonic cycle. It heralds the cycle of his "mature" symphonies and with it the composer addressed his audience directly and wanted to be understood by them. He succeeded in this - today the “Romantic” is one of Bruckner's most popular symphonies. Still, he revised it time and again and today there are three versions of it. With the Bamberg Symphony, which can draw on many years of Bruckner interpretation, Jakub Hrůša has now recorded all versions of the Fourth Symphony. For a conductor, it is a unique opportunity to be able to record all versions of a symphony. In addition, as Hrůša says, the project enables the interested audience to form their own opinion of the quality and tailoring of the respective version. In this way, listeners can decide for themselves whether the composer was right in his doubts, and whether it makes any sense at all to “pit” one version against the other. © Accentus Music
