Free Music Review: Lacking Shostakovich Colour
Hit: 2 Stars
General consensus has confined the Second and Third Symphonies of Dmitri Shostakovich to the rubbish bin of his repertoire. Indeed, the composer himself disowned them. There is intrigue and excitement in the Second, but the present third is uneventful and totally unmemorable. Nevertheless, Jansons typically makes it sound convincing.
In the Fourteenth, Shostakovich is, again, not as spectacular as he was in his preceding compositions. Sergey Aleksashkin cannot be faulted however, his Russian is vividly caught and his sonorous tone is perfectly matched to Shostakovich's vocal vision. Larissa Gogolewskaja is not in the same league as her famed accompaniment. Jansons is typically fine, as is his fantastic Bavarian forces.
Again, both these works suffer from a lack of sparkle and are unmemorable. They certainly do not belong in a highlights collection of Shostakovich. For completists only.
