Free Music Review: DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!! THIS is POISON!!!
Hit: 1 Stars
Yes, this is probably the best performance of the Schoenberg Violin Concerto ever recorded. That said, it is still a piece that looks better on paper than it sounds. The constant hype about the work does NOT make it a better piece of music. It is dull, paper music, PERIOD! This is musical castor oil played very sweetly, but even Mary Poppins won't make this go down "...in a most delightful way!!!" Hahn's hyperlyrical style makes the work sing better than ever before. The orchestra performance is excellent as is the conducting.
The Sibelius is a DUD and completely earthbound. There is NO grit in this performance, it is all oily-smooth and punctilliously played, but it NEVER catches FIRE as it can. Just listen to Heifetz or David Oistrakh or Julian Sitkovetsky. Salonen's partnership in this piece is completely misbegotten. He, as per usual, likes loud-and-fast, while Hahn wants deep and lyrical. I remember hearing a live performance of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto like this one: a fight to the finish with the violinist plodding and the conductor racing when the soloist finally shuts up. The tempo gear-changes are God-awful and finale has NO rhythmic articulation. I have never heard the dance rhythms in this piece sound so mushy. Don't waste the money on this...
ON THE OTHER HAND, if you like musical castor oil, play the Schoenberg recording, hold your nose, and swallow...
Schoenberg Violin Concerto Op.36/Sibelius Violin Concerto Op.47 Poster
In another original pairing violinist Hilary Hahn brings together the familiar, highly commercial and long-awaited recording of the famous Sibelius Violin Concerto with the rarely performed Violin Concerto by Arnold Schoenberg. Hahn brings out the romantic qualities of Schoenberg's Concerto--known as one of the most difficult pieces in the violin repertoire--showing why it makes an ideal coupling with the Sibelius--"Hahn didn't merely play the notes, she passionately engaged with them." (The Daily Telegraph on a live performance of the Schoenberg Violin Concerto). As both an acclaimed Sibelius interpreter and a known advocate of 20th-century music in concert halls worldwide, Esa-Pekka Salonen is the ideal musical partner in this project.Classical Music CDs
