Free Music Notes for Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 7
Free Music Review: Decent, but better talents available.
Hit: 3 Stars
DG, oh, yea, DG (or Universal, to be exact) has become as of late the BIGGEST hype force in the world of classical music.
Well. Gustavo IS talented, but certainly, he has miles to go before he could handle a well-established label's patrons by issuing disc after disc.
More than any other genre of classical musicians, conductors need TIME to nurture. However talented, he needs to be grilled over and over before he could handle diverse repertoire.
How many concerts has the lad conducted? How large is his repertoire?
If he hasn't yet built up a substantial force, the label that 'sells' him off as a big gun is simply being irresponsible.
Listening to this disc and you have a glaring example. The No. 5 of Beethoven - how many classical versions already? If you say young Gustavo is in the same league as Carlos Kleiber, von Karajan, Norrington, Zinman, Harnoncourt, not to mention Furtwangler, Klemperer ......you must be KIDDING!
And being 'young' is not the sole criteria for this 'business' of hyping. There ARE around a host of talented young conductors too - the Czech Philharmonic's Jakob Hrussa is only 26. An equally, if not more, talented young conductor.
Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 5 & 7 Poster
In 2006, the 25-year-old Venezuelan Gustavo Dudamel's star on the international scene is rising fast, with prestigious conducting assignments and this CD of two of Beethoven's most-popular and often-recorded symphonies. It's a bold calling card for a label that has outstanding versions of these symphonies by the likes of von Karajan, Abbado, and Carlos Kleiber, among others. If Dudamel doesn't eclipse those or others atop the mountain of Beethoven symphony recordings, he gives fine performances brimming with vitality and excitement. His youth orchestra sounds as good as many better known ensembles, playing with spontaneity and technical expertise. Dudamel excels in painting vivid orchestral colors and lending rhythmic impetus to the fast movements of both symphonies, surely a prerequisite for conveying the power of the Fifth and the dancing rhythms of the Seventh. But he does tend to exaggerate dynamics, following powerful orchestral outbursts with barely audible solo or section passages. And his slow movements, while decently done, tend to lack flow and energy. Still, an impressive debut, heralding a welcome new face on the international conducting scene. --Dan DavisClassical Music CDs
