[#6401] HKPO 8/02/2007 HKPO/Mahler/Leiferkus/EdW CCCH I went with several friends to the second night’s performance. Perhaps due to other programs on offer (like the Leipzig at the CCCH and the excellent Artemis Quartet at the CH) and the add-on nature, the hall was only about 60-70% full. This time the orchestra was seated somewhat differently, and it’s good they are experimenting. The violins were divided, the celli in the center and the bass section to the left. From my usual seat I like the sound of the new arrangement, seemingly bringing more clarity to the middle strings.. I am grateful to have had the chance to hear the Lieder Eines Fahrenden Gesellen. As soon as Sergei Leiferkus walked out, one was hooked by his aristocratic air (on that note, how he took a bow!). Commensurate with his demeanor, he sang magnificently, in a beautifully modulated tone, with devotion to the text and that rarest of sentiments, nobility. In response the orchestra was appropriately delicate and poetic. An excellent performance on all counts. A friend pined for a younger voice though. It is hard to characterize the performance of the seventh, one of my favorites. One may say it is mostly another typical EdW performance, without much character. But it’s more seriously lacking than that. It was a journey devoid of the middle. I had thought this symphony might be well suited to the cool conductor, but alas. The orchestra played powerfully, but more often than not sounded ragged rather than galvanized (as they were in the performance of the third). The opening of the first movement was sharp but things plodded on squarely. As I gradually got deflated a miracle happened midway. The lyricism of the strings garnered momentum and the orchestra sailed on purposefully for the rest of the movement. Bravo! But then I got deflated quickly again by the bland Nachtmusik I, scherzo and Nachmusik II, all devoid of phastasmorical elements. Even the manic determination of the usually uncommonly excellent John Harding seemed perfunctory. The finale was better, but the cacophony had a hollow center, devoid of joy. The orchestra played well, and the principals, including the guest principal violist, all gave their best. Special mention to Mark Vines and the horn section. Both of my friends remarked on how “noisy” the symphony seemed. One had attended the performance of the third and I asked him what was the difference. He thought for a while and said while performance of the third had a big sound this performance was just noise. Another friend who went the previous night remarked on the disjointed nature of the performance. EdW wrote a note in the program, “Mahler and me”, in which he said: “(Mahler) builds up a very complex picture in the score which cannot be interpreted with a broad brush. This complexity calls for…to achieve the right overall balance. It is in these details that Mahler shows his experience as a conductor.” I think EdW should chew over what he himself had written. There are plenty of lessons in there for himself as a conductor. In view of the distasteful drama unfolding within the HKPO, it is time EdW asked less of others and more of himself. Please do not spend any more money on SCMP sponsored features; please don’t overspend and overdo this self-promoting “building” stuff. Fear can achieve certain things, but show us more character and humanity in your music making. When things do not work out, think of your own responsibility before blaming the musicians, who can play with melting beauty for many a "lesser" guest conductor.. |

[#6403] Mahler Nos. 5, 1, & 4 (perhaps in this order) are the ones to start with to gain an entry into the world of Mahler. No. 7 is probably his least popular work. I confess I have not begun to know how to respond to it. ![]() |

[#6410] Beethoven Piano Sonata Hi Trollope, My Buchbinder LP box set does not have his Hammerklavier. But it is avaiable on this double CD set. Not sure if it is available locally. If my memory is correct, you already have more than 20 (or 30) Hammerklavier recordings. http://www.amazon.com/Beethoven-Sonata-nos-14-17/dp/B000026FNG/ref=sr_1_1/102-2769393-3080926?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1173620828&sr=8-1 His Complete Beethoven Piano Sonata set. http://www.amazon.com/Beethoven-Piano-Sonatas-Ludwig-van/dp/B000000SDX/ref=sr_1_3/102-2769393-3080926?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1173621103&sr=8-3 ![]() |

[#6411] Beethoven Piano Sonata Thanks, Eric. The Teldec "Ultima" 2-CD set is very tempting. The number of my "Hammerklavier" stays at 23 (since my message here on 4 January 2005). |

[#6412] Beethoven Piano Sonata Yes, The Teldec "Ultima" 2-CD set is very tempting. All the pieces are my favorite. Infact, is the classical CD market shrinking? Just visit HMV, it is getting smaller and smaller. But price is getting higher. Eg this Accordo/Mutter Bach CD is selling at $150. ![]() |
