Music reviews of Mahler: Symphony No. 7

Music Review: An exciting, extroverted Mahler Seventh with Solti's orchestra
Rating: 5 Stars

During his reign at the Chicago Sym., Georg Solti created a sensation with hard-driving, blockbuster performances of Mahler that eschewed subtlety and went for the jugular. Twenty years later, most of those readings feel too aggressive and one-dimensional. Here we have James levine in 1982 applying the Chicago style, so to speak, but to very different effect. The symphony sitll osunds like a blockbuster--very different from Abbado's detailed, refined view--but the excitement isn't vulgar or overpowering.

For him the Mahler Seventh is not a problem symphony: like Solti, Levine pulnges straight in, irons out the enigmas, pushes the melodic line confidenlty, and thanks to the engineers, eveyrthing is caught in extroverted, up-front sound. The young Levine has lots of musical ideas that aren't imitations of Bernstein's, Klemperer's, or anyone else's. His timings aren't really faster than the norm, but he keeps the voltage high, and one senses a troubled, manic, driven Mahler who is tying us up in his musical contradictions much as he himself was tied up. Fascinating.
