Schubert: Symphonies No. 3 and No. 8 "Unfinished" (CD)

Customer Review

... Suspicious, slamming the door of no return possible when musicians were missing a note, Carlos Kleiber also hated the studio, but luckily was able sometimes to violence. The eccentric maestro engraved "officially" two symphonies by Schubert: the 8th called "Unfinished" and the third, an early work. An essential disc. I wrote in an article in October 2012:
"Carlos Kleiber recorded" unfinished "Schubert single vinyl album (with the 3rd Symphony) in 1979. It offers an authentic vision, light, tense and nervous, to Beethoven's accents. Kleiber conducts the Vienna Philharmonic, beauty Sound is evil, another reference. "
"Another" because historical records for this work are legion surenregistrée Erich Kleiber, Böhm, Wand, Blombstedt, you will complete yourself

Yes: Erich Kleiber (father in the family Kleiber) recorded at least once Symphony No. 3 Schubert in 1946 with the orchestra of the NBC (1 CD Tarha) and unfinished with the Berlin Philharmonic in 1935 with either cuts or tempos "storm warning" (Oro). It itches, but what the b ** nerve !!!

The 3rd is found mainly in the integrals. And always quote the same: István Kertész, Karl Böhm (again in an interpretation which allegretto wanders poetically, a jewel among the integral with DGG) and Herbert Blomstedt, etc.

Rarer disk, burning Carlos Kleiber of this symphony deserves some attention:
1815 Schubert is 18 and his creative power at full capacity. How's that ten years later, the disease will result in its descent into hell and into death at age 31 that year, the musician composed song on the lied, a hundred. To clear his head, between 8 and 19 May, he quickly wrote the first 64 steps of the beginning of the 3rd symphony, then move on until early July where he sleeps on the spans the entirety of the book in 3 days!
It is possible that the extracts have been played during the evenings called "Schubertiads" the lifetime of the author, but in reality it will be published and only created in 1881. The own geniuses is composing for posthumous fame. With twenty minutes, the work demonstrates a concision that refers to their studies who ironically on divine lengths Schubert (the expression can arouse irony). The orchestration is very classic: 2/2/2/2 and 2 horns 2 trumpets, timpani and strings.

- Adagio maestoso attack Olympian manner and with seriousness the symphony. An agreement in tutti, but already some playful and poetic phrases downplay the remarks. This introductory style is reminiscent of the London Haydn and Beethoven 4th (1806). The Allegro con brio establishes the contrast by its dance rhythms, patterns perky winds. The direction of Carlos Kleiber appears jubilant at the head of the Vienna Philharmonic decidedly unconventional, colors so velvety, never thick as can sometimes feared German and Austrian orchestras. Special mention to the oboe mocking.

- The Allegretto functions as slow motion and takes less than 3 minutes. It's almost the dimensions encountered in the late Baroque (Handel) or the beginning of the classical era (CPE Bach). A lovely piece shaped walking interrupted in its central part by a gentle serenade. Here, we think of Mozart, to entertainment. But the orchestration and delicacy of phrasing highlighted by Kleiber sign the enchanting speech paw Schubert.

- The Menuetto Vivace with very marked accents does not duplicate the allegretto shaped minuet. Manly agreements horns and timpani belong to the romantic universe. Overall, this symphony broke new positivism. The trio takes us into a rustic feast like "Pastoral" by Beethoven. No need to look dark metaphysical questions of the latest unfinished symphony.

- In the perennial Presto, Carlos Kleiber releases the sweet madness imagined by a young man at the height of his creative force. With this third symphony that closes his first symphonic cycle, Schubert ad contained violence and obsessive rhythm that we will hear later in the final of the 4th symphony "Tragic" and even in the twilight of his life in the 9th Symphony "La great. " Carlos Kleiber introduces a joyful dimension or malicious in the coda, helped by its exceptional musicians.

Strongly agree melomaniac about the stinginess of DGG and minimalist life ... But the engravings "official" Maestro are so rare the first disk so affordable it will be much forgiven ...
