Description of Mahler: Symphony No. 6 / Berg: Three Pieces / Schubert: Andante, D936A, No.2Whether your preference is ?Old Vienna?, Fin de Siècle Vienna or the Second Vienna School, you cannot miss with these recordings from the man who has redefined Mahler interpretation. A shatter interpretation of Mahler?s tragic Sixth Symphony is complimented by a stunning and cohesive reading of Berg?s problematic Three Pieces for orchestra and a thoughtful benediction in the form of Schubert?s melancholy Andante in b minor.Most recordings of Mahler's 6th are by experienced Mahlerians with an affinity for his large-scale works. That makes for a very competitive field, but Gielen fits the profile, and his 6th, part of a projected complete Mahler cycle for Hännsler, is among the best. He surprises right from the start, with a first movement march that's among the slowest on disc, followed by a Scherzo both slower and cooler than usual. This objective approach serves as a buildup for a warm Andante and a truly masterful final movement, a half-hour journey through the symphony's recurring themes and rhythms, which are driven away by the famous hammer blows, here resounding in their impact. Some may prefer the more overt emotionalism of Bernstein and Tennstedt or the excitement of Solti or Chailly, but Gielen's expertly judged buildup from the underplayed opening to the shattering finale commands attention. The substantial fillers add to the set's attractions: an electric Berg Three Pieces as good as any in the catalogue and an affectionate Schubert Andante, from the composer's unfinished 10th Symphony. --Dan Davis Classical CDs |
