Music reviews of Mahler: Symphony No. 5
Music Review: nothing new
Rating: 3 Stars
As others reviewers have said, this is not a bad Mahler interpretation, but it is not an excellent one. After hearing this record I think this is nothing new, it's a very conventional interpretation. Dudamel is good in the fast movements (1st, 2nd) and at the finale, but in the sublime adagietto, he fails completely. What a big problem!, to fail in the best know of all Mahler's music and in one of the most beloved piece of classical music. Here the music sound dull, uninspired, without beauty and elegance. Dudamel seems to be immature to conduct Mahler and I think he needs more time in order to conduct and record this repertoire. Nevertheless, as I mentioned before, this is not a bad interpretation, but I would not say this is one of the best or good as the many records available with the most prominent orchestras and conductors. Dudamel has the skills to become a great conductor, he is young and has many years ahead. Only the time will say. For now his Mahler is waiting for, perhaps a first class orchestra or for the years to come.
Description of Mahler: Symphony No. 5
Gustavo Dudamel presents his highly anticipated second album on Deutsche Grammophon. Again with the forces of the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela, the disc features another symphonic masterpiece - Mahler's captivating Symphony No. 5. Gustavo Dudamel's debut album of Beethoven's Symphonies Nos. 5 and 7 caused a celebration in the music world and received ravishing reviews: "This is model music-making . . . every phrase is played with an exciting, deeply internalized sense of ownership that adult orchestras would do well to emulate." -The Philadelphia InquirerWith its energetic outbursts, expressive cantilenas and constant changes of mood, Mahler's Symphony no. 5 is the ideal repertoire for showcasing the forces of the SBYOV and its conductor. Dudamel and the orchestra caused a sensation on their 2006 tour of Italy when Abbado, who was announced to conduct the symphony, handed the baton over to Dudamel at the last minute. Even in Abbado's home country, Gustavo and his orchestra pulled off a Mahler 5 that brought the euphoric audience to their feet. "Critics have called the Venezuelan phenomenon Gustavo Dudamel one of the most talented young conductors in the world - and they are absolutely right." -The New Yorker
Dudamel was recently named Esa-Pekka Salonen's successor as the Los Angeles Philharmonic's Music Director beginning in the 2009-2010 season.
