Brilliant Reger & J. C. Bach, Otherwise A Mixed Bag.......2005-06-16
If you have read any of my other Amazon reviews, you are aware that I am a great admirer of German conductor Carl Schuricht (1880-1967). As the excellent CD notes here by Mark Kluge indicate, "Schuricht in a sense bridged the older generation of Romantic interpreters and the modern, objective style of conducting. His sense of balance derived from the old school, with a firm bass and a typically layered sound. His fine ear resulted in allowing all important parts to be heard. Schuricht's tempo choices were generally on the quick side, and flexible as a rule. His rhetorical gestures were plentiful but rarely extreme, and always with a clear structural basis. The drama of Schuricht's performances resulted from the music itself, not from his podium manner. He was on one hand Felix Weingartner's heir, but undeniably also a product of the same time and culture that produced Abendroth, Furtwangler and Knappertsbusch."
I picked up a used copy of this 4-disc Music & Arts set a few years ago for around $16. Right now, I am in the midst of down-sizing a collection with too many performances of the same repertoire (especially Bruckner symphonies), and just listened to this entire set yet another time. Here are some impressions:
1. This 1950 Prelude & Liebestod from Tristan & Isolde is nicely molded, although the playing itself is rather ordinary (with some blue intonation from the winds). It's not really in the same class as other historic performances from the likes of Furtwangler, de Sabata, Stokowski, Talich, etc.
2. Mendelssohn's Athalia Overture (rec. 1950) receives a fine reading, though I still prefer the ancient Mengelberg/N.Y Phil. account. The Schuricht, however, has much better sound.
3. Schuricht's lovely performance of Reger's Mozart Variations is the highlight of this set - it's truly exceptional. Sadly, the audience is VERY noisy & cough-prone here. Still, all in all, this account for me ranks with those by Scherchen (CPO CD) and Bongartz (Berlin Classics).
4. This fine performance (1950) of Haydn's Cello Concerto with Mainardi is, to my ears, surpassed by Mainardi's studio account with Fritz Lehmann & the Berlin Phil (Decca 10" LP) and (just 2 mvts.) the old Feuermann/Weissman recording from 78s (M&A).
5. This 1952 reading of Schubert's "Un-finished" is far better than his studio account with the VPO (unfortunately, the latter was included in Schuricht's volume in IMG's "Great Conductors" series). However, after some comparisons, I marginally prefer Schuricht's live NDR Symphony account on a Disques Refrain CD (coupled with magnificent readings of Haydn's Symphony #86 and Beethoven's Egmont Overture). Still, this is a great account.
6. The live 1951 Bruckner 9th is one of five Schuricht accounts - and the least successful of the bunch (some of the playing, especially from the brass, is pretty bad). The 1937 (1 1/2 mvts. only on Archiphon), the 1943 (LYS), and the two later accounts (Orfeo & EMI) are all preferable to this one.
7. The Siegried's Tod (1942) from Wagner's Gotterdammerung is excellent, if a bit short of various accounts by Furtwangler and Knappertsbusch.
8. I don't find these accounts of Beethoven's 7th (1937) and Eroica (1942) quite as satisfying interpretively (not to mention sonically) as Schuricht's later readings in his complete Beethoven cycle (EMI). However, there are many interesting details here that contrast with those later readings, and I wouldn't want to be without them.
9. Despite rather old sound, this nimble account of J. C. Bach's Sinfonia in D minor (from 1937) is altogether stylish & lovely. It's my only recording of the work and hence a keeper.
Mainly for the superb Reger and J. C. Bach performances here, I am keeping this set. But unless those items are important to you, I can't honestly say that this M&A set at full price represents very good value. If you are a Schuricht collector, this set is worth having. Other listeners may want to explore the alternative performances cited above.
