Zinman's Resurrection is the second release in Mahler's complete series of works for this conductor with the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra. His Beethoven, Schumann, and Richard Strauss discs for Arte Nova have been a resounding success. The appearance of these Mahler discs on a full-priced label suggests that Sony-BMG Masterworks appreciates their potential to be the definitive Mahler recordings of the current decade.
Credit has to be given where credit is due. While the Tonhalle Orchestra doesn't possess the sleek and streamlined glory that characterizes (for example) the major orchestras in Chicago and Philadelphia, it is one of the few international-class orchestras in action today that retains an Old World sound and a distinctive personality. They seem to be frozen in time, and believe me, in today's orchestral world, that is mostly a good thing.
Zinman was a pupil of Pierre Monteux, who was not particularly known as a Mahler conductor, but that doesn't matter. Zinman's approach to this score is closer to Walter's than Bernstein's. There is not a lot of "showmanship"; the heart is there, but it is not worn on the conductor's sleeve. The biggest difference between Zinman and Walter, however, is that Zinman pays more attention to the score's details, and not as much to its overall structure. The result is a performance that is more impressive from one moment to the next, but that leaves the listener a little less satisfied once it is all over. Although the last movement is a little bit of a let-down, overall, this is less a complaint than an observation. Zinman is a very good conductor, and I would rather hear him conduct this work than many other conductors who quickly come to mind.–Raymond Tuttle
