Free Music Review: An Odd Mix
Hit: 3 Stars
After purchasing these CDs, I was captivated by Symphony No. 1. With Neeme Järvi's expert direction, the high drama is brilliantly portrayed. Listening to the rest of the symphonic cycle, however, I got the impression that Tubin didn't really have all that much more to say. Each of Sibelius's symphonies is its own idea and mood. Shostakovich's wild, careening evolution, even his agonizing history with the Soviet government, is clearly evident in his cycle. Tubin, on the other hand, gets dry after numerous hearings, except for the First and perhaps the Goblin Suite.
But if you already know and love Tubin, then you'll be equally disappointed with the fact that at least two of his symphonies on this set (the Fourth and Ninth) are live recordings, with all the attendant noise, poorly placed microphones, and even the audacity to leave in the applause at the end of each! No, thank you. The power and energy (such as it is) may have been present in the auditorium, but not on this set.
