Music reviews of Shostakovich: Symphonies no 5 and 9 / Haitink
Music Review: In contrast with a local performance
Rating: 5 Stars
Bought this the day after hearing our Anchorage Symphony do the 5th and felt the need to hear other versions to contrast with their performance. (My aplogies to Amazon since on the spot purchase requires a store). Again what especially interests me is seeing how my age ages these performances well. I still enjoy more the favorites from when I was younger but while then I may have felt dislike for Shostakovich, now I feel I understand the rationale behind the musical style. It reinforces my thinking that musical perfection lies somewhere closer to Mozart and Beethoven. (The Shostakovich was also coupled with the Mozart 3rd Violin Concerto with Chee-Yun.) It is also interesting noting how Stalin reacted to the music and wanted things to be more basic. I continue to learn that music can do other things.

Gorgeously recorded so that all of Shostakovich's eerieness of texture (and harps) can be heard, Haitink's performance of the Fifth symphony is pretty wonderful. The bare landscape of the first movement, with its lonely oboe solos, leads into the very Mahlerian, faux-fun second movement with creepy ease. The Largo is introverted but poignant, with handsome, sustained pianissimo playing, and the finale has great energy, but not quite enough of the grotesque--it's a bit too well-groomed. The Ninth, on the other hand, is ideal, with a finale to rollick over, and a refusal to turn the sometimes sappy second movement into empty emotion. It's one of those moments when Haitink's coolness pays off. A good buy. --Robert Levine
