Symphonies 5 in C min., Op. 67; 7 in A, Op. 92
DG (ADD) SACD 471 630-2 or 447 400-2. VPO, Carlos Kleiber
A justly famous coupling that stretches back to the LP era. In Carlos Kleiber’s hands the first movement of the Fifth is electrifying, yet still has an underlying hushed intensity. The slow movement is tender and delicate; then, after a Scherzo in which the horns are superbly arresting, the finale emerges into pure daylight. In the Seventh the symphonic argument never yields to the charm of the dance. Incisively dramatic, his approach relies on sharp rhythmic contrasts and thrustful rhythms, with the finale racing to its conclusion with great impetus and the horns again dominating the texture.
这对著名的组合可追溯至LP时代。在卡洛斯·克莱伯的手中,第五交响曲的第一乐章激动人心,却又隐隐透着一种静谧的强度。慢乐章温柔细腻;随后,在一段圆号演奏得极其引人入胜的谐谑曲之后,终乐章便如白昼般清晰可见。在第七交响曲中,交响乐的元素从未屈服于舞曲的魅力。他敏锐的戏剧性手法依赖于尖锐的节奏对比和强劲的节奏,终乐章以强劲的势头奔向尾声,圆号再次主导了乐章的织体。
Symphony 6 (Pastoral); Overtures: Coriolan; Creatures of Prometheus; (i) Egmont Overture and Incidental music: Die Trommel Gerühret; Freudvoll und leidvoll; Klärchens Tod, Op. 84
EMI (ADD) 5 67965-2. Philh. O, Klemperer; (i) with Nilsson
The Pastoral is I.M.’s favourite Beethoven symphony, and he first heard it in 1941 (in abbreviated form) in Walt Disney’s Fantasia, gloriously played by Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra. The swinging melody on which the finale is based is one of the richest that Beethoven (or anyone else for that matter) ever wrote, and in the film the climax accompanies the sun god, Apollo, driving his chariot across the heavens – a spectacularly appropriate visual conception.
This account of the Pastoral stands out among Klemperer’s Philharmonia Beethoven recordings (alongside his live Testament version of the Choral Symphony – SBT 1177). It is famously controversial, with its legendary story of the Scherzo, taken by Klemperer at an unusually relaxed tempo. At the studio rehearsal the record’s celebrated producer, Walter Legge, stopped the performance with the comment, ‘Isn’t that a little slow, Otto?’ ‘You will get used to it,’ was the conductor’s immediate reply, and he continued in measured fashion as before. And indeed, such is the magnetism of the Philharmonia playing that one does indeed get used to it, and the performance overall is memorable for its combination of warmth and drama. The couplings are memorable too, and Birgit Nilsson is in her prime in the Egmont music.
《田园曲》是I.M.最钟爱的贝多芬交响曲,他第一次听到这首交响曲是在1941年,当时是在沃尔特·迪士尼的《幻想曲》中(缩略版),由斯托科夫斯基和费城交响乐团精彩演绎。终曲所基于的摇摆旋律是贝多芬(或者说任何其他人)创作的最丰富的旋律之一,影片的高潮部分伴随着太阳神阿波罗驾驭着他的战车穿越天际——这是一个极其贴切的视觉构思。
这首《田园曲》在克伦佩勒爱乐乐团录制的贝多芬唱片中脱颖而出(与他现场演奏的《约瑟合唱交响曲》——SBT 1177))。这部作品以其谐谑曲的传奇故事而闻名,而克伦佩勒以异常轻松的节奏演奏了这首作品。在录音室排练时,这张唱片的著名制作人沃尔特·莱格(Walter Legge)突然叫停了演出,说道:“奥托,这节奏是不是有点慢?”指挥立即回答道:“你会习惯的。”然后他继续以先前的节奏缓慢演奏。的确,爱乐乐团的演奏魅力十足,让人很容易就习惯了,整场演出温暖而富有戏剧性,令人难忘。乐曲的配器也令人难忘,而比吉特·尼尔森在埃格蒙特音乐中正值巅峰。
Symphony 9 in D min. (Choral), Op. 125 (CD version)
LPO Live 0026. Popp, Murray, Rolfe Johnson, Pape, LPO Ch., LPO, Tennstedt
Klaus Tennstedt’s outstanding Choral Symphony was recorded live in October 1992 at the Royal Festival Hall. Terminally ill as he was, a fact widely known, this made each of his last concerts into an event, which added to tensions. The performance stands comparison with any rival version in the thrusting intensity of the playing, brisk in the first movement with timpani prominent, lilting in the Scherzo (though with no repeats observed), radiant in the slow movement, with the LPO strings at their most mellifluous, and violent at the start of the choral finale, leading to an exceptionally intense and well-coordinated account, with outstanding soloists and chorus. The sound, although on the dry side, is vividly clear.
克劳斯·滕施泰特杰出的合唱交响曲于1992年10月在皇家节日音乐厅现场录制。众所周知,滕施泰特身患绝症,这使得他最后的每场音乐会都成为一场盛事,也增添了现场的紧张感。这场演出在演奏的力度上足以匹敌任何对手:第一乐章节奏轻快,定音鼓突出;谐谑曲轻快悠扬(尽管没有重复);慢乐章光芒四射,伦敦爱乐乐团的弦乐演奏最为圆润;合唱终曲的开场充满激情,最终形成了一场异常激烈、协调一致的演出,独奏和合唱团都表现出色。声音虽然略显干涩,但却清晰生动。
