Anton Bruckner: Symphony No. 8 | DVD | (28/01/2002)
from £19.45
| Saving you £0.54 (2.78%)
| RRP Listening to Bruckners monumental Eighth Symphony, here running some 88 minutes, is like scaling Everest. The summit doesnt come into sight until well into the third, slow movement, then its not until the third approach via other vistas that we arrive with a clash of cymbals at the peak. En route there are diversions into Alpine meadows where its not too fanciful to suggest an Edelweiss is in flower. Zubin Mehta recorded Bruckners Ninth Symphony early on in his career but neither his name nor that of this orchestra has been much associated with the Austrian composer. It was therefore something of a gamble for ArtHaus to release this 1987 performance. Mehta pleads and cajoles his orchestra to give of their all, but ultimately the demands of the music and the unsympathetic acoustic of the Alte Oper Frankfurt defeat them. The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra at key moments isnt always playing as one in a symphony where there are so many entries that require a unison response. One senses that the conductors forward pacing of the music takes its toll on the precision within the huge waves of sound Bruckner launches throughout the work. Anxiety brings with it the wrong sort of tension, so that when the music drops into one of the pastoral episodes theres little sense that weve moved into gentler terrain despite the heroic efforts of the principal flautist to add a scenic diversion. --Adrian Edwards

Zubin Mehta with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in Rehearsal | DVD | (21/01/2002)

| RRP Without being at all tricksy or showy, Arthaus Musik's In Rehearsal documentary series offers enthralling, profound insights into music-making of the highest calibre. In this case, with Zubin Mehta conducting the Israel Philharmonic in a rehearsal of Strauss' Till Eulenspiegel, those insights are sharpened by the knowledge that the orchestra is playing the piece for the very first time: the music of Richard Strauss had been banned in Israel until 1994 as a reaction to his involvement with the Nazi party. Thus, though the initial run-through is somewhat scratchy (and causes an hilariously neurotic hissy fit on the part of the principal horn player), the fact that the ensemble has no performance tradition of this piece means that every phrase has to be taken apart, explained, and put together again. We therefore see Mehta's ability to make a phrase more comic or fuller of pathos by simple nips and tucks of note lengths, and hear his reasons for shaping the piece the way he does. The documentary also offers a window on Mehta's genial but steely relationship with the orchestra: when he criticises the first flute (who is auditioning for a place in the orchestra), her terrified face is like a portrait by Francis Bacon. On the DVD: Mehta rehearses the orchestra in English, and the documentary has subtitles in French, German and Spanish. There are also four trailers for other Arthaus music videos. --Warwick Thomson

Rusicka/Brahms - Sinopoli Meets Kremer | DVD | (10/01/2005)
from £N/A
| Saving you £N/A (N/A%)
| RRP The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1936 and since then has hosted most of the world's greatest conductors and soloists. On the DVD in hand the orchestra welcomes two outstanding artists: Giuseppe Sinopoli and Gidon Kremer. Giuseppe Sinopoli has worked with most of the major orchestras of the world. In 1994 he received Italy's highest award the Gran Croce al Merito for his contribution to the arts and music. Of all the world's leading violinists Gidon Kremer has perhaps had the most unconventional career. Born in Riga Latvia he began studying at the age of four with his father and grandfather. His distinguished career has led him to appear on virtually every major concert stage with the most celebrated orchestras of Europe and America. Also he has collaborated with today's foremost conductors. Gidon Kremer's repertoire is unusually extensive. It would be fair to say that no other soloist of his international stature has done as much for contemporary composers in the past 30 years.
