RELEASE NOTES
This is one of my favorite recordings ever. Karl
B?hm, one of the most sadly underrated conductors
of the twentieth century, turns in an absolutely
magical interpretation of Beethovens gorgeous
Sixth. It is difficult to describe what makes
this such a miraculous performance. The main
reason is that B?hm doesnt feel the need to give
us Karl B?hms version of Beethovens Sixth
Symphony. He simply allows Beethoven to speak
directly to us, with his conducting merely
enhancing and intensifying what is already in the
music. He paints the symphony vividly and with an
enormous range of astonishingly beautiful colors
- he draws the most intoxicating orchestral
playing I have ever heard, on any set, out of the
Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The sound is
unbelievably gorgeous, but its always
meaningful, and is always a true Beethoven sound.
The strings translucent radiance and refined
beauty are truly stunning, the brass is
enormously rich and sonorous, the timpani are
clear and incisive, but the most amazing section
of the orchestra is the woodwind. The flute,
oboe, clarinet and bassoon all produce the most
glorious sound, phrasing ardently and radiating
an almost otherworldly light. The tender beauty
of the flute and oboe solos in the central
section of the Scene by the Brook is almost
overwhelming. That movement is perhaps the most
exceptional part of an exceptional recording.
B?hm takes fourteen minutes over this movement,
but he has the extremely rare gift of superbly
sustaining slow tempi, with the result that this
performance flows more smoothly than many much
quicker performances, while the actual
spaciousness of the tempo aids the conveying of
the movements stillness and serenity. A slower
tempo also means the movement is longer, a cause
for rejoicing when given the level of the
performance! B?hms orchestral sound and texture
in this movement is also exceptional, with
woodwinds and violins soaring over a rustling,
gloriously warm and transparent bass including
two gorgeous solo cellos. But its wrong to
single out one movement of this exceptionally
cohesive, unified recording. The first movement
is twelve minutes of pure delight. B?hm takes a
very sensible tempo, one which allows the music
time to breath and unfold without ever impeding
the flow of the music. His performance is
wonderfully feeling and emotional without ever
becoming sentimental: indeed, he is one of the
very few conductors who dont kill the very first
phrase by indulging in a big ritardando at its
close. He takes the exposition repeat, which
enhances the structure of the movement and
balances the symphony as a whole. The Scene by
the Brook, as I have mentioned, is glorious. The
Scherzo is just as fabulous. B?hm takes what I
suppose is a somewhat slower tempo than usual,
but its hard to tell because it has such a
strong rhythmic pulse and drive that its
impossible to say the tempo is slow. Rather, he
gives every note time to be articulated clearly,
something many swifter performances miss. It is
the vivid country atmosphere to the performance
that is most compelling, though. He also takes
the repeat. The storm is absolutely terrifying,
probably the most vivid performance of this
movement on disc, firmly refuting any notion that
B?hm was an uninvolving or boring conductor. The
rainbow-like transition to the finale is handled
with superb skill, and the glorious finale itself
flows serenely from the opening horn-call to the
miraculously beautiful, almost religiously
fervent sotto voce string chorale in the coda
nine minutes later. This performance is
remarkable for its ability to evoke an emotion or
scene vividly. The emotions this performance
produces in the listener, both during and after
listening, are better experienced than described.
All Im going to say is that this is one of the
most magical, overwhelming recordings ever made.
The coupling is a delightful performance of the
Schubert Fifth, made a few years later. It is
characterized by the same radiant orchestral
playing the Pastoral enjoys, and a delightful
feeling of playfulness and joy. This disc is one
of the greatest achievements in the history of
recorded music, and is an unbeatable bargain at
mid-price. The Pastoral is one of the most
emotional, magical, and miraculous experiences
recordings can convey. I have listened to this
recording at least fifty times, and I have never
found the smallest flaw in it. This is one of
those very few great recordings I just cant say
enough about. Seventy-four minutes of sheer
bliss. Enjoy!
