Free Music Review: Colin Davis's Final Sibelian Thoughts?
Hit: 4 Stars
Here are quite distended and sensitive realizations of what must be Colin Davis's final thoughts on these two fine symphonies. I don't think I've ever heard so much probing and shaping of musical contours in these works as I'm hearing here. After three listens on different days, I tend to conclude that the Third is brought off less successfully with the approach, if only because the often fetching melodic lines as heard so unambiguously in other performances (e.g. Bernstein/NYPO) are bent and often broken here in an attempt to find some elusive profundity that's perhaps more ephemeral than genuine. Maybe other listeners hear more in this than I do. In any case, the orchestra certainly plays responsively and with fine ensemble -- sounding great in the appropriately dry, vivid and close-up soundstage.
The Seventh here, however, is another matter. Davis and the LSO bring off a wonderfully expansive, detailed, and moving realization which grows on one with successive hearings. Davis's sensitive shaping weaves finely-wrought lines and an incredibly subtle sense of pulse and flow; the climaxes are brought off beautifully. It all culminates in a perfectly judged coda which lingers profoundly in the mind -- I loved it! In my opinion, this is a performance of the Seventh which thoroughly demands to be heard and savored by all who love this work.
By the way, Sir Colin's infernal humming, which is heard so prominently in the recording of the Fifth Symphony in this LSO LIVE series, is graciously muffled.
