Schubert: Symphony No. 9 “The Great” (CD review)
[…] listeners have always loved it.Maestro Schwarz takes a genial, easygoing approach to the symphony while managing to maintain much of it size and grandeur. (He plays it complete, as Schubert intended, with no cuts and all the repeats intact.) Both of my favorite recordings in this work do much the same thing but with some cuts: Otto Klemperer (EMI) deftly holds together the magnitude of the structure while still maintaining an amiable attitude; and Josef Krips (Decca or HDTT) manages to produce a largely cheerful production while also preserving most the music’s expansive scale. Schwarz is a touch more solemn and straightforward than either of these preferred conductors, yet he still gives us a solid, well-considered interpretation.Under Maestro Schwarz the second-movement Andante seems to go on a tad long, yet it never drags. It just hasn’t as much energy as it might nor sustain as baronial a manner as it could. […]

Mozart - Le Nozze di Figaro - Currentzis - Kleiber - Gardiner
[…] act. The curious thing is that Hilde Güden, Susanna on this recording, sings Marcellina’s aria. It is not a drawback musically, since Güden sings just as wonderfully as she does her own role, but dramatically it feels wrong to hear the bright and charming Susanna voice when one expects Hilde Rössl-Majdan’s fruity contralto.Orchestra: The Vienna Philharmonic were in wonderful shape in June 1955. They knew their Mozart and were also recording Don Giovanni under Josef Krips and Così fan tutte and Die Zauberflöte under Karl Böhm at about the same time.Conductor: Erich Kleiber, the father of Carlos Kleiber, was born in Vienna and had Viennese music in his veins – not only the classics; he conducted the world premiere of Alban Berg’s Wozzeck – and he was an experienced opera conductor. Like Böhm and Colin Davis he had the ability to let the music unfold and breathe naturally. There isn’t […]
