4.0 out of 5 stars Mutter back on form in fine coupling, 26 Oct 2004
By Alexander Leach (Shipley, West Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
An excellent SACD - sonically the use of the rears is very discreet, just emphasising the clarity and warmth of the recording, although to be honest I didn't really notice the quality of the sound as the performances are so good.

I'm not a particular fan of the Tchaikovsky concerto (I really got this for the Korngold) but this is a very fine interpretation: high quality playing from the soloist with plenty of imaginative touches. I've never heard Mutter's much earlier version with Karajan, which I imagine is 'straighter', but no need to worry that the eccentricities which marred her second version of the Beethoven Concerto with Masur would materialise here.

This is a superb live performance with plenty of poetry and bravura. The VPO are in top aristocratic form and Previn is as an imaginative accompanist as his soloist wife.

The Korngold is if anything even better - first of all the recording is as good if not finer than the coupling, completely eclipsing Gil Shaham's enjoyable version (also on DG with the LSO and Previn) which was marred by the excessively close balance of the solo violin, making the listener's ears cringe at the climaxes.

Just listen to Mutter's lovely playing in the central Romance - and then enjoy the vividness of the recording in the sparkling finale, with the soloist's pizzicato chords and the woodwind solos crystal clear.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oh Dear., 7 Jan 2009
Two pieces that I know and love are here given the worst sort of VIRTUOSO performances.
Never has the 'more corn than gold' tag been more apt.
The OTT sentimentality and emotion of the playing in the Korngold destroys any claim that he transcended the clichés of Hollywood.
The melodies are milked for everything they've got and lose all bite and flavour, the hectic finale is taken at a leisurely pace to demonstrate the virtuosity of the playing and almost comes to a standstill when the music slows down.
Much the same is true of the Tchaikovsky, the opening movement being almost disabled by the stately progress of the tempi.
The overall effect is of Viennese schmaltz not Slavic spirit particularly in the polonaise section and the cadenza.
The recorded sound is exemplary though it only serves to highlight the dog's dinner of the performance.
BTW..the star rating was supposed to be one only, but the computer seems to have reversed my selection.
