Forbes Classical CD Of The Week: The Second Coming Of Celibidache

…The quality of this live recording, as the liner notes readily acknowledge, is not good: The light rig hums, there’s white noise, and the benches of the St. Florian Basilica creak. But what a performance! Rémy Ballot, for all practical purposes a no-name conductor, delivers a spellbinding performance of the sprawling, ingenious original version of Bruckner’s “Wagner” Symphony, perfectly paced in the über-resonant space of Bruckner’s St.Florian, and lasting 89 (!) minutes which Gramola somehow fit on one (!) CD. The Bruckner-Festival pick-up band responds with verve to …

'The Price' at Arena Stage

Hal Linden (Gregory Solomon) and Maboud Ebrahimzadeh (Victor Franz) in The Price, Arena Stage (photo by Colin Hovde)
Among Arthur Miller’s plays, The Price does not rank high. With few revivals in general, it was mounted earlier this year on Broadway, and a new production opened this month at Arena Stage. Seen there on Saturday night, it is not a version that demands a reassessment of this lesser play’s importance.

Miller turns to some familiar subject matter in this play: two sons divided by their failure of a father. One brother feels he has given up his hope for a better future to support the father, who went bankrupt in the Great Depression. The other brother went on with his life and became a successful scientist. Now that the father has died, the brothers have to get rid of all of their parents' possessions before their apartment building is sold off, and it is time for the family to settle its debts.

Other Reviews: Nelson Pressley, Hal Linden is right for ‘The Price’ at Arena Stage (Washington Post, October 13) Arthur Miller, The Past and Its Power: Why I Wrote 'The Price' (New York Times, November 14, 1999)

The best part of this production is to watch veteran actor Hal Linden in the role of Gregory Solomon, the hustling furniture appraiser called in to set a price on what is left in the apartment. Linden has a lot of fun with the character, who claims to be the age of Linden himself (or so), whom you may recall from his turn as the title character in the television show Barney Miller in the late 1970s. Most of the time that he is on the stage, more in Act I than Act II, Linden keeps the pacing of the play moving.

The text of the play stalls badly in the second act. More than once, when characters threaten to leave the scene, one really hopes that they will just get going. Maboud Ebrahimzadeh was the most sympathetic as Victor Franz, the police officer brother, a man all too comfortable resting in his misery, which irritates his wife, Esther Franz, played with a shrewish edge by Pearl Sun, in her Arena Stage debut. Least effective was Rafael Untalan as the wealthy brother, Walter Franz, although part of the weakness was due to Miller's text.

The Price runs through November 12 at Arena Stage.

Forbes Classical CD Of The Week: Johann Sebastian Clown

…Blow thy mighty cheeks and do your best impression of a wizard organist. Then add an instrument that can do absolutely everything (electronically), from imitating a clown car to reproducing pretty much any organ in the world: Limitless possibilities, and at the controls, recklessly, the lovechild of Pee Wee Herman and Sid Vicious. Endowed with an excess of skill and ability and unrestrained by limitations that good taste or fusty organ-decorum might prescribe, the self-styled heretic Cameron Carpenter sets about to reinvent the genre in his own image. The fact that he is playing Bach here isn’t primarily important; Bach is merely the playground on which he might just propel the organ (his own, custom-made, truck-size, Swarovski-encrusted digital monster) to popularity again…

Mariinsky Ballet returns with curious, occasionally brilliant 'La Bayadère'

La Bayadère, Kingdom of the Shades (Act III), Mariinsky Ballet (photo by Valentin Baranovsky)
The last time the Mariinsky Ballet performed La Bayadère at the Kennedy Center, it was in 2008, when the company was still calling itself the Kirov Ballet. Regret over missing that run is almost entirely due to the chance to see Diana Vishneva dance the role of Nikia, in what was the company’s first performance of the ballet, in the Marius Petipa choreography, here in Washington. The second run of this ballet, which opened last night in the Kennedy Center Opera House, was most remarkable for its male lead.

It has to be said that La Bayadère is not exactly a work for the ages. It has a largely undistinguished score by Ludwig Minkus, often little more than a harmonic pattern and accompanying figures in search of an interesting melody. The story is a fairly standard love triangle, involving a prince who has to marry Gamzatti, the rajah's daughter, but is actually in love with Nikia, the temple dancer (bayadère) of the title. There is a lot of rather stilted pantomime in the first two acts, and the divertissment in the second act, for the wedding of Solor and Gamzatti, is a ludicrous pageant that opens with Solor arriving atop a (fake) elephant and reaches a silly climax with the corps holding stuffed parrots. Dance critic Alastair Macaulay once quipped, “No matter which production of this full-length ballet you see, at least 60 percent of it is trash.” The math is indisputable.


Kimin Kim in La Bayadère, Mariinsky Ballet (photo by Natasha Razina)
The Solor of Korean dancer Kimin Kim, who has also danced the role with American Ballet Theater, was the high point of the solo casting. Lithe and bounding with energy, Kim made the most of the role's many leaps and other acrobatic feats -- “a formulaic series of standard bravura tricks," Macaulay also noted, which "have much more to do with a ballet competition than with dance drama.” The lightness and verticality of his movement through the air was breath-taking.

Other Reviews: Sarah L. Kaufman, The ballerina who fights back: In ‘La Bayadere,’ she won’t be manhandled (Washington Post, October 18)

Viktoria Tereshkina was technically impeccable as Nikia, her iron-like form holding beautiful shapes in lifts. Her strongest moment was the tragic dance at her beloved's wedding in the second act, to the accompaniment of a poignantly played solo by principal cellist Amy Frost Baumgarten. In this moment, especially going to a perfectly still arabesque while remaining en pointe with consummate strength, Tereshkina was astounding to watch. In much of what had come before, she was a cold, even steely presence, not creating much sympathy for her plight.

Although the Mariinsky has recently restored the fourth act of La Bayadère, this production ended mercifully with the best part, Solor's extravagant opium dream in the third act. The "Kingdom of the Shades" scene is “one of the sovereign images of ballet classicism” (Macaulay again), and few companies mount it as strikingly, as mysteriously as the Mariinsky. Susan Robinson's harp solos set the otherworldly tone, as the gorgeous corps de ballet, supremely drilled, made their slow descent from the Himalayas. The meditative repetition of movements and music creates a spell, greater than either music or dance by itself.

The solo variations for Solor and Nikia's ghost were also fine, featuring a softer version of Tereshkina's style, the perfect foil to the loveless pas de deux Solor had with the Gamzatti of Anastasia Matvienko in the second act. Oleg Rylatko, concertmaster of the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra, played the dazzling violin solos with admirable virtuosity.

La Bayadère runs through October 22, at the Kennedy Center Opera House.

Forbes Classical CD Of The Week: Lose Your Heart In Heidelberg's Spark-Plug Haydn!

…Joyous, rambunctious, and infectious; pert and alert here, swaggering and swinging there: Thomas Fey and his trusty Heidelberg band deliver Haydn like none other. The unknown L’incontro improvviso overture on volume 21 of this deliberately paced* Haydn symphony cycle alone would prove so much. “London Symphonies” Nos. 99 (“The Cat”) and 100 (“Military”) – follow in the same vain, as do 98 and 103 (“Drum Roll”) on volume 22. Fey’s drum-rolls in #103 are a thunderous “Intrada”; Haydn’s fortepiano in-joke in the Finale of 98 is played with dry humor. No period instrument group exceeds the Heidelbergers in spark or pluck. It makes you ask for more of such Haydn.…

A Survey of Beethoven Symphony Cycles: Alphabetical Index

An Index of ionarts Discographies

The Beethoven Symphonies
A Survey of Complete* Recordings

This is the alphabetical listing of every Beethoven Symphony Cycle that has been recorded. At least that's the ambition. This will go together with a much more detailed survey that will be created bit-by-bit over the next weeks. That survey is referred to as the "main page" below. The style has yet to be determined - whether similar to the piano sonata survey or the string quartet survey or the previous symphony surveys (Sibelius, Dvořák, DSCH) or in a new format altogether. On that or those main page(s), the recordings are (going to be) listed in chronological order. The ionarts-logo under "QuickLinks" takes you to the appropriate page where the releases and their editions are presented in greater detail - when the relevant pages are up. (Notice will be given on this page when that is the case.) The flags take you to the respective Amazon page; the global logo takes you to the relevant Amazon listing in your (browsing-) country. Those links are already active. Amazon links to alternate versions of the same recording (or lists with links to the individual recordings where no set is available) will be found on the main respective main page. Cycles with multiple conductors can be found under V for "Various". At the bottom of the table, you will find the recordings of the Liszt piano transcriptions of the Beethoven Symphonies. Recommendations you will find on the main page. *A few cycles are not entirely complete or have not yet been finished but are underway or were never thought of as integrals, but cobbled together after the fact. Where that is the case, mention has been made on the main page.


Ed. 06-01-25: I never abandon these surveys entirely. It may take me a while - but I will get around to it. Your comments, here and on Twitter, motivate me greatly. I have actually added the Rögner cycle but forgotten which "Yamada cycle" I had found. I did, however, add the recently published cycles by Gabor Takacs-Nagy/Verbier, Gianandrea Noseda/NSO, Joe Hisaishi/Nagano CO, Jordi Savall/Les Concert des Nations, and Antonello Manacorda/Potsdam. Fixed the link for the YNS set. Found a link for Neville Marriner's set, now that his entire Beethoven on Philips has been re-issued.

Ed. 10-07-18: I have found and added a cycle by the Des Moines Symphony.

Ed.: Thanks to Hiro Miyashita, Dennis Bade & Christoph Schlüren for helpful corrections, hinters, additions, and links! Celibidache, Matacic, Weil, Frühbeck de Burgos, P.Jordan and a few other overlooked cycles have been added.

Ed.: I have found cycles by Rögner and Yamada and will add them soon.
