Free Music Review: Recording is overrated
Hit: 3 Stars
Many say this is the best Shosta 10 recorded. Quite frankly I would have to disagree. This was recorded back in 1982 during the early days of digital recordings. The sound in this recording is rather dry which really affects the performance. Personally I do not find the 2nd mvt very 'demonic' or 'aggressive' or any other evil adjectives you'd want to use. It didn't really impress me. However I must admit that the 3rd mvt here is one of the best around. Karajan judges the acceleration perfectly. As it has been said in many reviews, the finale is played at the speed Shostakovich himself indicated. It creates a slightly different effect than when you hear it at a slower speed, but if I'm not mistaken the timpani plays one too many DSCH mottos in it's solo at the very end. If you want a good quality recording in interpretation and sound get Haitink's recording coupled with the 2nd. The 2nd mvt of 10th is vividly captured and in your face and the tempo of the finale is only marginally slower than Karajan's.
Schostakowitsch: Symphonie No. 10 in E Minor, Op. 93 Poster
Herbert von Karajan undoubtedly wished to be remembered as this century's great German conductor. He recorded the complete Beethoven symphonies four times, Brahms twice, Bruckner almost twice. But in truth, he was better at other things, and when he worked outside his standard repertory he usually did his best work--like here, for instance. Von Karajan actually recorded this symphony once before, a good performance. But when he returned to it for a digital retread, he simply let himself go and played the pants off the piece. This performance reveals his stature as an interpreter far more clearly than any number of Beethoven cycles, and fans of the composer should add it to their collections without delay. --David HurwitzClassical Music CDs
