Happy birthday Marek Janowski

[juliorbitando]

Esta semana la he dedicado a la escucha de este álbum. Comencé con la primera, pase a la cuarta, luego la segunda y para la caminata de esta tarde reservé la tercera, y no sabría como describirlo bien, pero inmediatamente, en medio de los acordes, pude sentir que estaba ante la mejor interpretación de esta gran obra. Nítida, nada de empalagosa, poderosa, pero contenida...¡Uf! Me quedo con esta tercera de Janowski.

La segunda está maravillosa, pero no llevo un largo historial de escuchas. Las otras dos están bien, pero sigo alucinando con el registro de la tercera.

Recording Review: Bruckner Symphony No. 1

By James Norris

Anton Bruckner, Symphony No 1 in C minor; Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Marek Janowski, conductor (Pentatone Classics, PTC 5186 447)

Regular readers of Audiophilia will know that the publisher and myself leave no stone unturned to bring you the best in Bruckner performances on CD and this release is no exception.

Janowski is well known for his fine performances of Wagner so it comes as no surprise that his reading of Bruckner’s first symphony is equally dramatic. The key to conducting Bruckner lies in the conductors ability to handle the structure and harmonic progression of these large scale symphonies without them sounding stilted or ungainly and Janowski solves these dilemmas by presenting a high energy account which takes no prisoners and piles on the drama with no sense of a rallentando. The climaxes roll and blaze and you are left feeling breathless at the end as the Suisse Romande orchestra give him everything they’ve got.

He uses the revised Novak edition of the 1866 score which simplifies some of the orchestration and listeners may be interested in listening to the original unedited version performed by George Tintner and the RSNO on Naxos 8.554430. Tintner adopts slower speeds in all the movements and invites you to view and enjoy the peaks of the work by slightly pulling back the tempo at key points. This however is another fine performance of a much neglected work and both performances leave you wanting to listen again and again to what is surely one of the most assured first symphonies ever written.

Both versions are worth having in any Bruckner collection and if you already have the Tintner it’s still worth getting Janowski for his energy and sense of drama.
