Free Music Notes for Mahler: Symphony No. 3
Free Music Review: Five stars for recording and playing
Hit: 5 Stars
I was present at one of the concerts in Oct. 2006 from which this recording of the Mahler Third is taken, and anyone in the hall would have to say that the CSO played with exceptional commitment and virtuosity. In terms of sheer execution, this is a commanding account, rich in sonority, full of incredible solo playing and overall mastery. By comparison, the Mahler Thirds from San Francisco and London with Tilson Thomas, from Berlin with Nagano, and even from Los Angeles with Salonen, run far behind. As for the CSO's own legacy, you have to go back to Solti twenty years ago for the same visceral impact.
The recorded sound can't be faulted, either. It's open, clear, and very detailed. I'd only quibble with putting the winds and brass in such a prominent perspective, overshaowing the strings, but Chicago is proudest of those sections, so I see the point. Up to now I have used Salonen's recording as the touchstone for sound, but this in-house effort seems just as good, if a bit lacking in atmosphere compared to what the Sony engineers achieved in L.A. If there isn't an SACD version to come, it's a shame given the richness of what we hear in two-channel stereo.
These virtues are enough to earn five stars, but I would withold one star when it comes to Haitink's interpreatation. In the hall the sonic impact of the orchestra was so mesmerizing that one didn't notice any falws in Haitink's interpretation. It's certainly a good one but tending on the straight-faced side compared to the free fantasy of Bernstein or the riveting excitment of Levine. Haitink doesn't iron out Mahler's emotional contrasts, yet he is more about balance and beautiful execution than deep probing of the music's meaning. Michelle DeYOung is smooth-voiced but doesn't search deep into the Nietsche poem she sings in the fourth movement; the choral work in the fifth movement is exceptionally fine. however
In al, I must grudgingly conced that I agree with the reviewer below who calls this Recording a mild disappointment, but the other reviewers who hear major problems are very far off base. This is a fine, eolquent reading that just happens to come up against great ones from Bernstein, in particular. On its own, Haitink's CSO effort belongs jsut under the top tier. (I also own two Concertgebouw readings of the Third under him, and both are essentially the same slightly reined-in interpretation that we hear here.)
