Free Music Notes for Schumann - The Complete Symphonies (Mahler Edition)
Free Music Review: I didn't like it
Hit: 2 Stars
I understand Schumann was not a master orchestrator and tended to over-orchestrate his symphonies. But although Mahler cleared up the texture quite a bit, the overall edit and performance sounds like muzak from the sixties and seventies. This music sounds lobotomized: it doesn't sound like Schumann--or even Mahler for that matter--but it sounds much more like 101 Strings or Leroy Anderson. And Chailly wasn't able to keep that tendency from occuring in many places.
This is an unsuccessful, if curious, experiment IMHO. I would rather recommend Kubelik's performance of the original orchestration with the Berlin or Bernstein's with the Vienna (Heh! Now there's a man has been known to edit the orchestrations of a few classics in his day!)
My two cents.
Schumann - The Complete Symphonies (Mahler Edition) Poster
Riccardo Chailly and the Gewandhaus Orchestracomplete their cycle of Schumann s four symphonies,
presented together in a specially-priced 2-CD set.
The Gewandhaus Orchestra under it s Music Director
Riccardo Chailly brings generations of authentic romantic
style to performances of all four Schumann symphonies.
These symphonies, recorded in the wonderful acoustic of
the Gewandhaus itself, include the revisions made by
the composer Gustav Mahler a lifelong supporter
of Schumann and his symphonic writings.
Since Chailly took charge at the Gewandhaus, the orchestra
has received consistently excellent reviews for their playing
and interpretations of the works of the great Romantic
composers. The orchestra was invited for the first time this
summer to appear at the BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall
and sold out the concert!
