Free Music Review: Repin magnificent but Krivine is not... and the sound is poor
Hit: 4 Stars
Imagine an incredible violinist who can play the Sibelius without inflicting the piece any sweaty gipsy accents, give a noble account, imbued into the northern lights of Scandinavia...
Now pair this miracle musician with an uninspired, heavyhanded conductor -who seems to be the punition for any Reine Elisabeth winner recording Sibelius cf. Sergei Kachatryan naive recording of the piece- and make sure the recording engineer is asleep at the wheel: that's what this recording offers.
The Tchaikovsky is inspired and offers the reading of a idealistic young officer coming right out of a Tolstoi epic story. It is convincing, luminous and the finale is breathtaking. This is the polar opposite of the also convincing live Mutter performance which captured and infused a complex woman's character in a towering, unique, sublime performance.
In summary, just imagine what Repin and Nagano conducting the Halle orchestra recorded by Chatauret could have done with these concerti...
The cd despite Krivine and the poor recording is a must have for the Sibelius by Repin. A heartbreaker otherwise...
