Paavo Jarvi、Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra:Bruckner (1824-1896)

Description:

The last of the three major Bruckner symphonies by Paavo Järvi and the Tonhalle Orchestra is Bruckner's Ninth, the first time in 15 years since the recording with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra. The edition is only labeled as "original" this time, but it seems to be based on the Novak version, not the Kohls version used in the previous recording. Compared to the old recording, both movements are much faster except for the scherzo, and the playing time is about 1 minute and 40 seconds shorter in the first movement, and about 3 minutes shorter in the third movement.The first movement, which was more spacious in the previous recording, seems to have been tightened up this time, but the slow and fast sections are made more generous, making the most of the characteristics of each theme, and the coda is also a bold statement of the music. In the second movement, the control based on detailed score reading allowed each part to sound clearly without being buried, and the interesting orchestration was clearly presented to emphasize Bruckner's intended sound. In addition, tight accents create lively music. The third movement, with its strong sense of musical flow, is full and expressive, hardly giving the impression of being fast, and the chorale stands out in this extremely beautiful performance.The orchestra consists of violins on both wings as in the previous No. 8, double basses on the far left behind the cellos, horn section on the right next to the cellos, bass tuba in the back row next to the Wagner tuba replacement, trombone on the right, and trumpets on the far right. The bass brass and timpani are placed in the center, providing a unique sense of stability. The Japanese edition comes with a Japanese commentary by Atsuya Funaki.[Burkner Symphony No. 9 conducted by Paavo Järvi, comparison of performance timings]2008 Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra 1st movement 27 min 41 sec 2nd movement 10 min 50 sec 3rd movement 27 min 06 sec 2023 Tonhalle Zurich Orchestra (actual performance timings)1st movement 26 min 03 sec 2nd movement 10 min 46 sec 4th movement 23 min 55 sec Naxos Japan Movement 23 min 55 sec Naxos Japan
