Check out Taneyev’s 4th Symphony

Neeme Järvi

[Petrushka]

I've been taking full advantage of the BPO DCH archive. Some terrific performances on there. This afternoon I played the Berg Violin Concerto and Shostakovich 8 with Baiba Skride and Andris Nelsons. All of the Bruckner performances that are in the recently released CD set are to be found here.

Yesterday played Bernard Haitink in Lutoslawski's 4th Symphony.

Just watching Petrenko's Asrael. He's impressive. Enjoyed Shaham's Korngold Concerto earlier. What a resource!

[Petrushka]

Just watched Abbado conducting Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde. Not to be missed!

The credits at the end indicate that it was recorded in association with Euroarts and Accentus but in the 9 years since there has been no DVD or CD release. Does anyone know why not?

[Dave2002]

RSNO is doing a "live" streaming tomorrow (27th March) of a recorded concert including the Eroica Symphony - conducted by Roger Norrington.
I don't know how to find it yet - might be on Facebook - or on RSNO's Friday Night Club.

It would be interesting to compare notes (no pun intended) on what you (and others on the Forum have seen in the DCH. I've tried to catch the equivalent of a full concert per day from the DCH, but haven't been able to keep up with that goal since I first signed up. I have caught 7 of Kirlll Petrenko's concerts, starting logically with his first concert as chief conductor as the very first concert that I've watched from the DCH. Focusing initially on KP's concerts, in somewhat of a concentrated burst, I can understand on a personal level why the Berlin PO chose him. While not every moment from him has been like the skies opening, the orchestra sounds very energized and happy with him, and their chemistry does seem keen. I do admit to surprises here and there in An American in Paris from the New Year's Eve concert, where KP mentioned in his related interview feature the new critical edition of the score, as the reading at that concert had some notable deviations from what I'm used to hearing.

Have also caught Jansons' final concert, and one from Paavo Jarvi with the new Hans Abrahamsen horn concerto composed for Stefan Dohr (on the amusements of language, mentioned in the VPO New Year's Concert / Nelsons thread separately, the discussion between a German hornist, an Estonian conductor, and a Danish composer, was in English). Otherwise, I've cherry-picked individual pieces here and there, like FPZ with the Hindemith violin concerto, and some of SSR's Sibelius. In the last, SSR does a 'trick' with the Symphony No. 6 ending, and he then launches after a slight pause in to Sibelius 7. With all due respect to SSR, I actually think that this is a bad move, because the sometimes-overpowering mood of 7 actually wipes out the gentler memories of 6. IMHO, it's best to perform them, if in the same concert, well separated, or at least with a break for applause, or one in the first half and the other in the 2nd half. But then no one asked me :) . As well, have watched some of the documentaries.

I did find Edgy's mention of Neeme Jarvi with Taneyev 4. Worth hearing once, but when NJ provided one of his trademark encores at the end of the concert, the choice of the "Trepak" from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker unfortunately showed why Taneyev 4 is very rarely, if ever, heard, namely that the 1 minute of the "Trepak" is more memorable than the whole of the Taneyev.

One other concert features this surprise aspect, with 4 words that you would never expect to see in the same sentence: Pierre Boulez conducts Mozart. In fairness, Boulez did conduct some Mozart during his New York Philharmonic tenure. More surprises no doubt await. The DCH really is a tremendous treasure trove, which I'm now appreciating with seeing several concerts and checking it out in full for the first time.
