If Leonard Bernstein was one of the greatest conductors from the
second half of the 20th Century, his interpretation job never
outshone his composer one. But the durable and worldwide success of
West Side Story has often irritated him, as it left in the
shadowed the rest of his abundant and varied catalog. Antonio
Pappano has had the good idea to gather the three symphonies from
Bernstein in a single album recorded in several concerts in Rome
with his Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, which
reaches under his baton an international dimension. Bernstein had a
special relation with this institution that he has frequently
conducted.
Jeremiah, Bernstein’s first symphony, dates from 1944.
Bernstein was 26 and wrote it the same year as his first ballet for
Broadway, Fancy Free.He blends genres in a way that is now
typical of him, disturbing many timorous music lovers who don’t
understand that this dichotomy is the result of his genius. This
first symphony sung in Hebrew denounces the horror of the Holocaust
in Europe.
1949 is the year of The Age of Anxiety, his strange second
symphony inspired by a long and difficult poem by W. H. Auden.
Rarely played because of his difficult solo piano section that few
interprets possess in their repertoire, this symphony is a
succession of “themes and variations”. If the beginning flirts with
the European Art music, notably from Prokofiev, it ends in a
syncopated sentimentalism in the style of the great Hollywood
movies. The excellent pianist Beatrice Rana (who has recorded for
Warner Classics a very exciting Second Concerto by
Prokofiev with the same conductor, as well as, more recently, the
most talked-about Goldberg Variations by J. S. Bach) is
here a brilliant and convinced performer of the work. Written in
1963 and dedicated to President Kennedy, Kaddish, his
third symphony, is probably the most personal work of this trilogy.
Heterogeneous as is all Bernstein music, it goes together with a
text written by him that caused a scandal because of his
iconoclastic arrogance, as Bernstein is giving advice to God to
better rule mankind… Unsatisfied with his text, the composer did
several revisions of his work to give it the form that is mostly
used today. © François Hudry/Qobuz
