Music reviews of Schubert: The 10 Symphonies

Music Review: Schubert put through the Marriner mill -- pleasant but hardly urgent
Rating: 3 Stars

At their height in the Seventies and Eighties, the unassuming Academy of St.-Martin-in-the-Fields, based in the famous church on Trafalgar Square, churned out mega hits one after another. They perfectly matched a younger market who wanted to hear classical music in a pleasant, no hassle style, as easily assimilated as granola bars. The level of execution was high, and Neville Marriner had no pretentious to greatness. When you go to the church today, most concerts are drop-in affairs where the audience wears jeans and T-shirts. the Academy's records give off the same vibe. Soon they were billed as "the world's most recorded orchestra," and the appeal of their style is such that the Penguin Guide gives top honors to Marriner's Schubert cycle, praising it over Colin Davis, Gunter Wand, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Karl Boehm, and Karajan.

It's one thing to rub off old shellac but another to take the painting with it. If you begin with Marriner's Unfinished," acknowledged as a masterpiece when Shucbert's early symphonic output was dismissed as juvenilia, the performance perfectly fits Gertrude Stein's scathing description of Chicago: There's o there there. the reading is one uninterrupted span of polite execution with a few climaxes (the music gets louder) but no events. At the other extreme, if you turn to ambitious youthful works like Sym. #1, which need a strong interpretation to make their case, Marriner pushes the score through the same mill and winds up with the same result, a pleasantry. Does this music actually mean anything to him? In the days sixty years ago when Beecham stood up as a rare champion of the Third and Sixth, he found much more than buoyancy and high spirits. Those aren't bad things, naturally, but we've learned to look deeper than that when it comes to Haydn, and the same applies to Schubert.

Musicologist Brian Newbould has undertaken completions of the sketches that Schubert left for various aborted projects, including a lost Sym. #7, the last two movements of the "Unfinished," and the Tenth that the composer never lived to continue with. All are curiosities, but harmless enough -- you can program them out if you want the "Unfinished," for example, to sound the way it was published. Scholarly completeness also supplies three Symphonic Fragments, and Newbould has polished up the markings in the scores of the early works.

I realize that I stand alone among the cheering reviewers here at Amazon, but do a simple A-B comparison. Play Marriner's breezy, carefree reading of the finale to the "Great" C major and then the same movement as interpreted by Furtwangler, Klemperer, Karajan, Bernstein, or Sinopoli. They are by no means look-alikes, but what they all have in common is the sense that masterpieces call for us to delve deep into the realm of emotions, not skate merrily over the surface.
