During the golden age of recorded classical music, the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich was never on the top rung of world orchestras, but under conductor David Zinman, it took great strides forward, and the process has continued under the experienced hand of Paavo Järvi. The group's cycle of Tchaikovsky symphonies has been a pleasure, and perhaps this installment, featuring the Symphony No. 1 in G minor, Op. 13 ("Winter Dreams"), is the best. This was an early work, but Tchaikovsky esteemed it greatly over his entire life, and it does seem to carry his personality even more than some later pieces do. The key to it is to avoid looking forward to the weightier developments of the later symphonies, and Järvi accomplishes this beautifully, holding the whole thing, to paraphrase John Le Carré, like a thrush's egg in his hand, and he has honed the orchestra to a fine edge. Hear the silky strings at the beginning of the second movement ("Land of gloom, land of mist") or the delicate interplay of the winds in the Allegro scherzando giocoso. "Delicate" might be a good word for the entire performance, even in the heftier Italian Capriccio in A major, Op. 45, and in the excerpt from Eugene Onegin that rings down the curtain. This is a performance that's absorbing without turning on the usual Tchaikovskian emotion, and it's a virtuoso example of the conductor's art. Warm sound from the Tonhalle Maag is another attraction.
