Bruckner: Symphony No. 7 in E minor - Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin; Ricardo Chailly
This 1985 Seventh, the first release in Riccardo Chailly's 15 year-old Bruckner symphony cycle, is a wonderful performance, thankfully available again. Chailly takes a majestic view of the work. Tempos are spacious, but not dragging. The ensemble is perfectly balanced, with inner voices clearly audible, even in the big climaxes. String sound is rich and sonorous. The brass are on top of their game–you can actually hear the trumpets and the horns contest with each other in their first tutti passage, as well as in the first movement coda, where Chailly revels in the sheer orchestral splendor.
In the adagio, Chailly achieves the miracle of making both the strings and brass distinctly audible in the great climax–even over the din of the timpani and percussion. (Georg Tintner on Naxos demonstrates how this passage can be just as moving without the percussion, the brass choir pealing out with chaste beauty.) Chailly's love of and commitment to this score extends to the last two movements (which some conductors treat as mere afterthoughts). The scherzo is highly energized, while the finale's processional air is interrupted by lively, dramatically staged outbursts. And then there are those final chords, which once again celebrate the glorious sonority of the brass. Decca's remastering for this release adds just a bit more clarity and presence to what was already a dynamic and full-sounding recording. A great Bruckner seventh. –Victor Carr; classicstoday.com***
When first issued in 1985, this performance of the Seventh raised eyebrows for its exceptionally slow tempos in the outer movements. It was a milestone that didn't last long. Out came Maazel (EMI) and then Celibidache (also EMI), making this recording sound positively zippy in comparison. Chailly's reading still impresses as among the best available for its long-breathed, intense lyricism and concentration, not to mention the overwhelmingly magnificent brass sonorities in the coda of the first movement and the climax of the Adagio. While it may not displace Jochum's exceptional EMI rendition with the Staatskapelle Dresden (EMI obviously has a line on Bruckner 7: there's Karajan and Klemperer too, both excellent), it easily withstands comparison, and at budget price it's an exceptional value. I also urge anyone on a budget to try Skrowaczewski's very different interpretation on Arte Nova as well. At these prices, you can afford a little duplication. –David Hurwitz; classicstoday.com
