5.0 out of 5 stars Horenstein conducting Mahler 6th: meaning of the soul in the notes , 24 Sep 2006

By	H. Granot (Ein Dor, Israel) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Couples of years ago I've read a few passages On the net about performance made in the UK by the great conductor Jescha Horenstein on Gustav Mahler masterpiece sixth Symphony. At that time I've started hearing Horenstein's recordings on Mahler and I thought to my self it must be a great one. Fortunately the performance was never on CD or record. It was however as I've heard in the BBC archives waiting to be revived for the audience. I hoped BBC Legends label will get it out of the archive like they did with Horenstein's Mahler 7th, 8th, 9th and Das Lied Von Der Erde. Now after years of waiting the performance was finally released by BBC Legends.

First I must say the passages I'm writing are according to my own personal taste and view on Horenstein's performance. I believe no one see Mahler 6th in the same manner (that to say on any classical work), since then one will prefer his recording according to his taste, in interpretation and Orchestral playing and even sound. Every aspect is to change one thought about the work and the performance. We must also understand that we don't have one ultimate view on any classical work. There is no one ideal model. That may only lies in the Composer musical score. Every recording represent new way of hearing the work.

Follow the years I've heard many recordings on Mahler 6th. I remember starting from Bernstein DG recording, then Tennstedt, Boulez, Szell, T. Sanderling and Barbirolli on EMI. Every recording has its own highlights. Of the recordings mentioned I can say the two which I liked the most are the Szell one and Barbirolli. Two recording which are so different from each other but both have their impact. I'm still looking forward hearing many other recording on Mahler 6th but until then I know I have one recording which to my belief stand among the finest.

Horenstein performance was recorded live in concert that took place in Winter Gardens, Bournemouth, 10 January 1969. This performance was made with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. First of all I must say the sound is in good form, nothing to complain about. I can't really say what is so great in Horenstein's performance; this is something every listener should experience for himself. However I will tell as a whole why I believe his performance is so great.

Horenstein is always aware to the drama in the symphony. He is able finding the tragic soul which is in Mahler notes and markings. The lonely tragic soul seeking for meaning and comfort in life could be sensed in every moment. Horenstein grasp a unique and masterly interpretation. He keeps the balance between the heart and mind throughout the whole journey. The music never sounds too sentimental and on the other hand never cold. There is however something clinical in Horenstein interpretation. We experience the music as from a back sit, without being too much involved, but never aphetic to the sounds. To some, such interpretation will not do it; it is all question of personal taste as I've already said earlier.

It is in Horenstein hands that I truly felt one time experience. It is only near the end of the performance when it is made clear where Horenstein was aiming from the beginning. At that time it can be felt you've been told a story by a master teller. The teller vision is truly revealed and you fell like being taken under a spell, hypnotized to the very last moment.

The playing of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra is also truly great. Horenstein draws from the orchestra dark colors to match his vision on the work. Throughout the performance you can hear many orchestral details. This aspect is mostly heard in the last movement. Horenstein take the movement slowly and shapes every moment with patient and space bringing from the score many details.

For conclusion I must say hearing Horenstein performance was almost like hearing the symphony for the first time. His performance is unique in the growing discography of Mahler masterpiece. Here, I believe we have the evidence of conductor was able capturing the meaning behind the notes, the very naked soul of the music. Horenstein, in is own way found his own meaning in Mahler music.

I recommended this CD for every one who interested in Mahler music. This is for me one of the finest recordings ever made on this symphony or on any other Mahler Symphony. The CD also contains a fine bonus: Rossini's Semiramide Overture and Nielsen's 5th.
