Jordi Savall’s Beethoven is bursting with life. The accents, rhythms and articulations are sprightly of course. But also in spirited, intelligent phrases, the accomplished orchestral balance cheerfully testifies to this (Adagio from the 4th). The tempos too are relatively measured but alluring. The secret of these Beethoven compositions is their dancing spirit, inherited from the dances of the 18th century, which brings a constant energy. Another way in which these works stand out is the revolution of timbres which inspired the Master of Bonn’s formal constructions, in the new registers (the development of brass instruments and notably horns, but also increased presence of timpani, etc.) and in the development of dense textures. All this is paired with a poetic, theatrical sound: these symphonies are hidden dramas. This is how Ernest Ansermet also saw it in the past and his complete Decca recordings bear the trace of this, despite a naturally different general aesthetic (Decca, 1958-1963, well worth rediscovering). Here, the 4th is bursting with audacity - it is perhaps the greatest of the first works of the genre in the Beethoven catalogue. Jordi Savall achieves a very beautiful ensemble, which very clearly sticks out above the rest in this year of Beethoven (2020), a year overflowing with rather unconvincing artistic proposals. © Pierre-Yves Lascar/Qobuz
