Mahler (1860-1911)
Description:
The third installment of the Mahler series by Gergiev and the London Symphony Orchestra, which has been creating a sensation with its unapologetically aggressive approach, is Night Song No. 7, which was performed on consecutive nights following the performance of No. 5 the previous day. The Seventh is one of Mahler's most enigmatic symphonies, but it is also one that is known for its many unique recordings. The Tennstedt recording, which includes Klemperer's cool-headed performance at the top of the list as well as two live recordings in different directions, is from the U.K., which is a coincidence. The characteristic throughout the entire work is the use of a considerably faster tempo, as in the case of No. 6 (LSO.0661). The first movement begins with an eerie darkness, and the atmosphere of being cornered grows stronger in the main part.The Scherzo, described as a "dance of hell" (The Independent), is "the highlight of the evening" (Musicalcriticism.com). The two evening pieces that flank it are thoroughly unsentimental in both the second movement, with its brisk tempo and emphasis on military elements, and the fourth movement, which is also faster than one might expect and gives the impression of an increasingly bitter parody. Finally, the culmination of the neurotic approach is the finale, which runs through at full speed in a state of maneuvering. I am not sure if this (Gergiev's approach to the finale) was Mahler's intention at all. But the LSO's woodwinds were tireless and brilliant, and the finale was nothing short of radical.The LSO and Gergiev's Mahler project has been a source of confusion and rejection among some, but it has also been a source of addiction for many fans who can't wait to see what they are going to do and feel the thrill of the unpredictable. On July 9 and 10, 2008, the LSO and Gergiev will be performing the Symphony of a Thousand at the famous St. Paul's Cathedral, the last recording in the series, and it seems unlikely that we will be able to take our eyes off of this duo anytime soon. ［Comment courtesy of King International.]
