Music reviews of Tchaikovsky: Symphonies Nos. 4, 5, 6 "Pathetique"
Music Review: The best 6th!
Rating: 4 Stars
I agree with Jeffrey Lee. This 6th symphony is superb! I have heard that Mravinsky was a tyrant and led the Leningrad orchestra with a firm wand. He was a perfectionist. But regardless of his unyielding demands and bad temper, his achievement to bring this orchestra to the hight he did in this symphony is unmatched by any other. Packed with passion and emotion, he maximizes each and every movement with fervor and despair. This symphony conveys life with all its ups and downs. In the end, you can imagine the nails being driven into a coffin as a statement of the grand finale and terminal end. Though rather depressing, it is a symphony filled with beauty and drama and I have yet to hear anyone come close to bringing it to such sweeping emotion as Mravinsky and the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra.
Description of Tchaikovsky: Symphonies Nos. 4, 5, 6 "Pathetique"
These recordings by Evgeny Mravinsky and his Leningrad Philharmonic, taped in the autumn of 1960 while they were on tour in London, are among the absolute classics of the catalog. They are readings of hair-raising intensity--the finale of the Fourth is marked allegro con fuoco, and if you want to know what con fuoco means, all you have to do is listen for a moment. No one else has ever had the nerve, or the ability, to play the music this way. The treatment is very Russian: the extremes are more extreme, the passions more feverish, the melancholy darker, the climaxes louder. In that department, the development section of the first movement of the Path?tique has to be heard to be believed. The sound is remarkably good for the time, a little edgy in the loudest pages but wonderfully present, just like the performances themselves. --Ted LibbeyGeneral CDs
