Free Music Notes for Shostakovich: The Complete Symphonies - Mariss Jansons (10 CD)

Free Music Review: Reaching The Cosmos with Mariss Jansons and Shostakovich
Hit: 5 Stars

Mariss Jansons,Latvian conductor,who was a protege of legendary Evgeny Mravinsky,finally completed his Shostakovich cycle 20 years after starting.Jansons had magnificent orchestras at his disposal.Not to mention first class sound quality by EMI.So eveything was set for Jansons to score the perfect Shostakovich cycle.He could not manage to do that (5th symphony)but he came very,very close.

Jansons seems to love Shostakovich with every single aspect of his composing.He understands and shares the point behind each symphony.His interpretations are full of inner fire,tension,drama and purpose.That puts him head and shoulders above the competition at the unknown symphonies;1,2 and 3.At the fourth Jansons delivers a hypnotic experience.Top notch execution by Symphonieorchester des BR.Fifth is far from Russian.The only problematic interpretation of the set is the fifth.It is odd really,charming and delicious fifth was really enjoyable but i expected more.Jansons tries to put tension and high drama on it but gorgeous Viennese sound -though the execution is simply put perfect- was not a good choice for this bitter masterpiece.Sixth alongside with 9th are however Russian in sound,perfect in climax and exemplary as a whole.Seventh is not exaggerated like Bernstein's Chicago version but wonderfully dark and Russian,wonderfully played by Leningrad Philharmonic.8th symphony matches the magnificence of Mravinsky's definitive BBC account with a better sound and without a cough brigade.Under Jansons' baton the tension never drops.10th is also magnificent.The famous Scherzo which is said to be the dances over Stalin's grave or a musical portrait of bloody tyrant never sounded more demonic than this(Mravinsky however sounded as demonic).Eleventh is full of drama and tension.Jansons sent me to that bloody Sunday morning in 9th of January 1905 and brought tears to my eyes.I never cared for the 12th like i care for 11th but it seems Jansons does.Again he is dramatic, builds climaxes superbly and gives a definitive account.13th is a hair-raising account.Symphonieorchester is full of commitment and Aleksashkin is unbelievably dark and emotional as soloist.14th and 15th shows the obsessive genius's fear of death so clearly and closes this superb cycle greatly.

So this cycle is worthy of a 20 year waiting.These are definitive recordings of 14 Shostakovich symphonies.Fifth is also delicious but not Russian.In its full of tension and dramatic ways the music in these 10 cds definitely reaches the cosmos(Jansons stated in an interview:"In a concert or in a recording the aim should be reaching the cosmos.Players should be thinking about that only.They should not think about if they should play more crescendo.Rehearsal is the time for that.)just like his earlier cycles of Rachmaninov's orchestral works and Tchaikovsky's symphonies.
