Music reviews of Shostakovich: The Complete Symphonies - Mariss Jansons (10 CD)

Music Review: Jansons Shostakovich Box Set. Not the Best, but the Best We Can Expect
Rating: 5 Stars

The Shostakovich Jansons box set is recorded over almost a 20 year period. The undisputable gems are the 1st, 5th, 7th, 11th, and 15th. In short Jansons is strong where Shostakovich's popularity is generally strong. When I say gems I mean they are like diamonds. Not only are they the best in the set they are some of the best recorded and performed Shostakovich ever. The most popular Shostakovich symphony the 5th was recorded live with the Vienna Philharmonic which is probably the greatest orchestra in the world at the time. It's hard to find this version as a single now although it deserves to be in every serious Shostakovich collection. The 1st symphony is with the second greatest symphony orchestra in the world the Berlin Philharmonic! It is played and interpretted with precision. It is my favorite 1st in print only otherwise available coupled with the piano concertos of Shostakovich with Mikhail Rudy. The 15th symphony is with the London Philharmonic. It is sometimes perceived as quirky, but Jansons gets it right in the slow movements. Also sometimes out of print and very valuable recording.
The 7th is almost historic being played by the then Leningrad Philharmonic. I didn't look at the credits to see if they changed to the St. Petersburg PO.(same city). This 7th used to be in my top three picks out of about 50 recordings that I have of it. The 11th is a very underrated symphony and Jansons shows why it is one of Shostakovich's strongest dark horses. This alone should sell you on this set. But there is more.....

Jansons recorded the 6th and the 9th early in his career. They are very good don't get me wrong, but the Largo is the 6th and the psuedo-slow movement in the 9th are both just a tad fast kind of like Mravinsky. His 8th seems a little out of place. Oddly enough there is a part of a rehearsal included on the CD with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. The 10th is good, but I am really picky when it comes to this great work. I would probably take Karajan or Jarvi over Jansons.

More or less the rest of the set the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 12th, 13th, and 14th are with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. Jansons has matured, but at the same time he has lost some steam. The best with the BRSO is the 14th symphony which everyone hates because it is really song cycle. If you just listen to the percussion and strings Jansons does a top notch job. Only the soprano with her whispery wispy voice seems to mar this otherwise outstanding performance. The 13th is the next best CD and the bass soloist has recorded this for about the fourth time on CD! I think he is getting a little bit tired. The 12th symphony passes with my friends and they like it so I won't comment further. The 2nd and 3rd symphonies are Shostakovich's worst and a good effort, but no prize. The 4th symphony holds it's own with the competition.

So ends the Jansons box set. As I say this is about as good as you are going to do at this point. Conductors are only good at conducting some symphonies of Shostakovich. Giving the time frame here it is surprising just how cohesive this cycle is.

If I were to guess another Shostakovich cycle I would say Haitink's, but then I hate his 14th symphony because it is in original languages.

If you ask me about Kondrashin. I would say that his interpretations seem to be more self-indulgent and lack the moderation that Jansons brings to a more tempered rendition.

But staying focussed and on this Jansons set I think it is worth every penny especially what others are asking for their sets. Don't forget the gems in this set either!
