Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4 in E-flat major, WAB 104, is one of the composer’s most popular works. It was written in 1874 and revised several times through 1888. It was dedicated to Prince Konstantin of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst. It was premiered in 1881 by Hans Richter in Vienna to great acclaim. The symphony’s nickname of Romantic was used by the composer himself. This was at the height of the Romantic movement in the arts as depicted, amongst others, in the operas Lohengrin and Siegfried of Richard Wagner.

Recordings of all the Beethoven symphonies with their chief conductor are always a milestone in the artistic work of the Berliner Philharmoniker. So it was with Herbert von Karajan and Claudio Abbado, and expectations are correspondingly high for this cycle conducted by Sir Simon Rattle. Where does the special status of these symphonies come from? Simon Rattle has an explanation: “One of the things Beethoven does is to give you a mirror into yourself – where you are now as a musician.” In fact, this music contains such a wealth of extreme emotions and brilliant compositional ideas that reveal the qualities of the orchestra and its conductor as if under a magnifying glass.
On his personal approach to the performances, Sir Simon said, “You can make Beethoven too sophisticated or too elegant, you can clean him up too much. You can try to make him agree with himself when often he’s fighting with himself. I have the feeling probably that the more plain-spoken this music is, the better it is. And one knows with this orchestra, when you say ʻwill you joyfully motor this machine off the clifftop?ʼ, everybody says ʻof course we willʼ.” The concerts in which the Berliner Philharmoniker and their chief presented the symphonies in the Philharmonie in October 2015 were as thrilling as this suggests. The virtuosity of the works was revealed as impressively as their revolutionary energy. Performances in Paris, Vienna and New York followed and were rewarded with standing ovations from audiences.
The recording of the Berlin performances is available in an exclusive hardcover edition. It includes the cycle on five CDs and three Blu-ray discs as HD video, in uncompressed audio resolution and DTS surround sound. Its many extras include a video introduction with Sir Simon Rattle and a documentary about the making of the recordings with many interviews and glimpses behind-the-scenes. (more…)

Das Violinkonzert Op. 61 entstand im Jahre 1806, Beethoven schrieb es für Franz Clement, der damals als musikalisches Genie erster Geiger und Konzertmeister im Orchester des Theaters an der Wien war. Damit war klar, dass alle späteren Aufführungen dieses Werkes im Zeichen erstklassiger Violonisten stand. Kein leichtes Unterfangen für die DG, doch mit Herbert Karajan als Dirigent, den Berliner Philharmonikern und ganz besonders Anne-Sophie Mutter hatte die Plattenfirma erstklassige Voraussetzungen geschaffen. Mutter stellte bei diesem Konzert ihr großartiges Können unter Beweis, denn die von Beethoven in den Vordergrund gerückten Soloparts decken schließlich geringste Unsauberkeiten im Vortrag auf. Die Geigerin meistert jede noch so artistisch anmutende Passage mit Eleganz und nahezu spielerischer Leichtigkeit.

This is simply one of the greatest, most deservedly legendary recordings of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony ever offered to the public. Tempos and dynamics vary widely, with Fricsay always considerate of the works many thematic challenges. His handling of the subtle rhythmic gradations of the Molto vivace is peerless and prepare yourself for one of the most exhilarating Allegro assai finales this side of Toscanini. With a line up of soloists including Irmgard Seefried, Maureen Forrester, Ernst Haefliger, and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau all in their vocal prime as well, it simply doesn’t get any better than this. Deutsche Grammophon’s rich well-balanced sound is very good for it’s vintage. No matter how many performances of this frequently recorded masterpiece you may already own, don’t miss Fricsay’s!

In the most beautiful of all piano concertos it isn’t the orchestra which introduces the main theme but the piano”: Wilhelm Kempff (1895-1991) justified in this way his preference for Beethoven’s lyrical Fourth Concerto in G major. During his long, troublefree career, he played both the Fourth and “Emperor” Concertos all over the world, from the capital of his homeland Prussia, the Berlin of the Kaisers, to Japan and South America, from Scandinavia to Baalbek. He used to improvise the two cadenzas in the G major Concerto, employing a musical imagination that had been schooled in composition, and he made no exception when he recorded the work in July 1961, at the age of 66. This poet of pianism was accompanied by an orchestra he knew well, the Berlin Philharmonic, under the distinguished German conductor Ferdinand Leitner (born 1912). Kempff’s witty and sensitive approach reveals new subtleties in the heroic E flat major Concerto, the “Emperor”, a performance recorded at the same time as the G major that has frequently been singled out for the highest praise. The Penguin Guide has called it “perhaps the most refreshing and imaginative of all. Strength there is in plenty and excitement, too. [Kempff’s] range of tone-colour is extraordinarily wide, from the merest half-tone as though the fingers are barely brushing the keys to the crisp impact of a dry fortissimo.”

Fidelio may seem like an isolated phenomenon in a career overwhelmingly dominated by instrumental music. But Beethoven’s letters reveal that from his early years in Vienna he was anxious to try his hand at opera. In 1803 he got as far as composing several numbers for a grand opera, Vestas Feuer, to a libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder, Mozart’s collaborator on Die Zauberflöte. But the project foundered on the incongruity between the ancient Roman setting and what Beethoven called “language and verses that could only have come out of the mouths of our Viennese apple-women.” He continued to cast around for suitable librettos until near the end of his life, even making sketches for operas on Macbeth – a tantalising prospect – and Bacchus.

The phenomenal rise to fame of the conductor Herbert von Karajan is linked indissolubly with the name of Beethoven. He first reached the heights in 1937, when he was Aachen’s General Musical Director (still under thirty years of age, he was the youngest man in Germany to hold such a post), by directing a memorable performance of Fidelio in Berlin. Another landmark in his career is the present complete recording of Beethoven’s nine symphonies with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, a series among which the presentation of the ‘Eroica’ is a greatly admired achievement in its own right. The Berlin Philharmonic is undoubtedly Karajan’s orchestra: in 1956, after the death of Wilhelm Furtwängler and an American tour, which Karajan conducted with outstanding brilliance, the orchestra unanimously appointed him artistic director for life. Under his conductorship the orchestra has achieved great triumphs and has deeply moved its listeners both in Berlin and on innumerable national and international tours, above all, perhaps, in performances of the ‘Eroica’ and the other outstanding symphonies of Beethoven (From the original LP notes, 1963)

Wagner interpretations with Herbert von Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker have a quality all of their own. Critics always admired the ability of the musicians to bring out not only Wagner’s luscious sound, but also all the subtleties of the score. Moreover, Karajan was able to rally the singers to successfully convey the lyrical tenderness of Wagner’s heroes despite their vocal powers.

These are works that invite music lovers to compare different artists and interpretations.
