Free Music Review: Powerful, relentless, and crystal clear
Hit: 5 Stars
The orchestral playing, sound, and Haitink's grasp of the work's architecture are peerless. He makes the work into one overwhelming arch.
I am fond of Previn's recording for EMI (it is beautifully played and his inner movements are thrilling), but his first movement lacks the inevitability of Haitink's; similarly, Previn's final movement lmost sounds comfortable next to both Haitink. It is a valid approach, but it will not leave you as shaken as Mravinky or Haitink.
Slatkin leads a well-played and very moving performance, which is unfortunately somewhat undone by its low-impact sound.
