5.0 out of 5 starsThe best "Winter Daydreams" I've ever heard, and No 6 good too
By B. G. Reinhart on November 3, 2009
Format: Audio CD
People tend to treat Tchaikovsky's First Symphony a little patronizingly: a lot of critics say things like "it was his first try," "it was before he found his voice," "structurally deficient but charming" - in other words, they say, the symphony is enjoyable but serious listeners ought to play something else instead. This recording very forcefully argues that the First is a masterpiece. The London Philharmnonic and Vladimir Jurowski play the living daylights out of "Winter Daydreams," and this live performance, captured by LPO microphones, demonstrates that the symphony belongs on orchestra programs around the world.

There are three things I love about this performance: first, it's actually quite dramatic. With my stereo cranked up, the first movement's climax makes a mighty impression: the London Philharmonic plays with great physical force and precision, and Jurowski whips up a ferocious symphonic storm (maybe it's a blizzard). The drama is especially evident in the finale, which is here played as thrillingly as anybody ever has. A lot of people complain that the last movement just goes on too long, is too "pompous," and Tchaikovsky could have made it a few minutes shorter. When I listen to recordings of the symphony by Riccardo Muti, Adrian Leaper, and Valery Gergiev (for example), I agree with them. But when Jurowski and the LPO are playing (and I've listened to this disc seven or eight times since it arrived a few weeks ago), this music feels not a second too long. They take the introduction slowly and forebodingly, then simply stop worrying about being "pompous" and just have tons of fun. Here the finale sounds enthusiastic, exultant.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsA strong "Winter Dreams" is oddly offset by a lightweight "Pathetique"
By Santa Fe Listener HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWER on October 2, 2009
Format: Audio CD
The young Jurowski, born in 1972, has graduated from wunderkind status to being an established figure at the highest echelons of conducting, with a strong focus on opera and Russian music. This twofer of the Tchaikovsky Sym. #1 "Winter Dreams" and #6 "Pathetique" began a complete cycle that recently was added to with a superlative pairing of the Fourth and Fifth. Here I was particularly taken with "Winter Dreams," a melodic but unformed work that exists somewhere between a symphony and a ballet suite. In the first and second movements Jurowski's timing of around 11 min. each is more urgent and less languid than the Gergiev account just released with the London Sym. As beautiful as the melodies are in both movements, massaging every nuance as Gergiev does makes me restless for something new to happen. Jurowski's account doesn't have sound that is as warm or close up as for Gergiev, but I prefer is pacing and the fact that he makes the score sound smaller, less important - "Winter Dreams" shows its garrulous side when it's inflated to sound like mature Tchaikovsky.

The scanperubg Scherzo is meant to be merry (the marking is 'scherzando giocoso'), and Jurowski captures the humor better than Gergiev, who tends to be poker-faced, one of his few faults. The orchestral playing here is looser in terms of execution compared with Gergiev's LSO, but also more exuberant. The Trio in fast waltz time is buoyant and lovely. Not many symphonies have a finale that begins with instructions to be lugubrious, and Gergiev takes the melancholy mood into a deeper shade of brown than Jurowski does. But Jurowski's pacing connects better with the Allegro that is to follow.Read more ›
