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

Bruckner: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 8 / Wagner: Meistersinger Prelude

Gewandhausorchester Leipzig

Classical - Released February 5, 2021 | Deutsche Grammophon (DG)

Hi-Res Booklet
The penultimate edition of the complete symphonies of Anton Bruckner conducted by Andris Nelsons at the head of the famous Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra continues. This publication is dedicated to Symphonies n° 2 and N° 8, and a work by Wagner, a true "God" and role model to the Austrian composer. Following a surprisingly soft and amorphous Prelude from the Meistersinger von Nürnberg (as if the Latvian conductor wanted to erase the nationalistic and historical connotations by showing that the Leipzig of today is not the Nuremberg of the 1940s), Symphony No. 2 (here in its 1877 version) emerges in a mystical aura. Together with its sister pieces, the First and Sixth, it is part of a trio of lesser-known and rarely-performed works by the composer. However, it was his first major achievement, whose exemplary unity would not be seen again until the Fourth, a few years later. The clarity of its construction and its communicative warmth, however, make it an excellent introduction to the particular and fascinating world of Bruckner. The performance of the Eighth is the culmination of six years of hard work, strewn with doubts and discouragement. Bruckner's most extensive symphony is also arguably the zenith of his genius. Andris Nelsons chose the 1890 version edited by Leopold Nowak, which was a considerably shortened form of the original. The question of choosing a version remains a stumbling block for conductors and musicologists today, as Bruckner constantly, and often reluctantly, modified his scores under pressure from his friends and publishers. Hailed a triumph at its premiere, this "Apocalyptic" symphony (according to musicologist Harry Halbreich) touches on the metaphysical, particularly in the twenty-seven minutes of its fabulous Adagio that seems to transport us up into the cosmos, in search of the origins of the world. © 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
