Music reviews of Beethoven: Concerto in C major; Symphony No. 10 (1st Movement)

Music Review: "Beethoven's Tenth" for real
Rating: 5 Stars

This is a wonderful performance of the Triple Concerto, one well worth having in your collection. The soloists soar through Beethoven's complex part-writing with the greatest of ease, in the process bringing out tiny details in such a way that it's evident they're listening to what the music is trying to say - and enjoying themselves in the process. The English Chamber Orchestra backs them up with a performance that isn't as overtly powerful as other recordings of this piece, but compensates with a blissful élan that shows they, too, are "getting the message" of the music. Well done.

The real gem on this CD, though, is Barry Cooper's reconstruction of the Tenth Symphony. The E Flat major Andante sections that bracket the movement suffer somewhat from being reconstructed, as the other reviewer pointed out. They're well written musically and certainly competently played here; they're just not particularly memorable. However, the central C minor Allegro is Beethoven at his fiery, intense best. It's a demonic dance in 6/8 time that brings to mind the first movement of his Fifth Symphony, but reattempted by a composer with two decades' more experience and knowledge. It also bears more than a passing resemblance to Brahms' First, which lends an amusing irony to the fact that for many years, Brahms' First was nicknamed "Beethoven's Tenth." The main subject alternates with a haunting G minor second theme, and the development section trails off into nothingness before the recapitulation begins with frightening intensity. Walter Weller and the Birmingham SO, whose complete Beethoven symphony cycle was notorious for the mixed quality of the performances, are in top form here, playing the pants off this movement. They obviously believe strongly in the musical merit of this reconstruction, and their no-holds-barred, fiercely intense playing makes me believe in it too. This is a movement that no Beethoven lover should be without, and the fact that the Triple Concerto is so superbly played clinches this as a highly recommendable CD.
