None of their concerts was more thoroughly Germanic than this one, given by the Staatskapelle Dresden. The conductor was Christian Thielemann, a conductor who famously called for the far-right Pegida movement in Germany to receive a fair hearing. That, plus his determination to limit himself to Austro-German music – a provocative stance in a world where musicians are supposed to be open to everything – makes him suspect to some, and dull to others. Mainstream the concert certainly was, with music by Beethoven, Max Reger – a curious, anachronistic figure from the turn of the 20th century – and Richard Strauss.
But dull it was not. The first thing one became aware of in Beethoven’s Violin Concerto was the rhythmic heat of Thielemann’s conducting. He likes to urge the melody on to its high point, and then relax the tempo just enough to let us savour the moment. The second thing was the sheer sumptuousness of the Dresden orchestra’s sound, so different from the lean muscular quality of Daniel Barenboim’s Berlin Staatskapelle, which visited earlier in the week. That sound offers a certain resistance to Thielemann’s impetuous beat, and the interaction of the two was fascinating, warm and soft-edged yet animated.
Within that sound some fine individuals emerged. When the bassoons took the melody in the concerto’s first movement they actually stole the limelight from the soloist – which was quite a feat, as Danish violinist Nikolaj Znaider was wonderful. He was poised and energised with an effortlessly massive tone, and so was ideally matched to the orchestra.
If any orchestra and conductor could have persuaded me to love Reger’s Variations on a Theme of Mozart, which followed the Beethoven, it was surely these. But not even they could make Reger’s harmonic side-slips appear anything but queasy, or his orchestration anything but muddy. In the final piece, Richard Strauss’s Till Eulenspiegel, we discovered the poetic side of Thielemann, in the way he lingered over the nostalgic moments in Strauss’s portrayal of the great prankster of German folk-tale. The piece is usually rendered with uproarious gusto; here it had a tender feeling of “far away and long ago”, which was very affecting. Prom 70: Staatskapelle Berlin / Daniel Barenboim ★★★★★ Nothing could have illustrated more clearly the contrast between the two leading Berlin orchestras than their almost back-to-back appearances at the Proms over recent evenings. Hot on the heels of two splashy programmes by the celebrated Berlin Philharmonic, the more venerable Staatskapelle Berlin arrived for a pair of concerts both juxtaposing Mozart concertos and Bruckner symphonies. The differences in content and delivery seemed to begin with their respective conductors: Simon Rattle, micro-managing his forces, and Daniel Barenboim, acting as a channel through which the music flowed with utmost naturalness.
Very nearly half a century since he made his conducting debut, and considerably longer since he first appeared as a prodigy pianist, Barenboim still gives every appearance of being in love with music. But then who could not love the warm, cultivated sound his Staatskapelle produced in the introduction to Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 26 in D, K 537, in this second of their Proms?
One of the most outwardly sunny and least troubled of Mozart's mature concertos, it spoke very directly in a performance of deeply rooted musical culture. A musician through and through, Barenboim sat down at the keyboard to deliver the solo part with clarity and poise in the best Mozart style — of the old school, anyway. 30 Famous Chinese Piano Pieces Pdf To Excel. As on his classic English Chamber Orchestra recording, he played the Wanda Landowska cadenza, with its allusions to operatic Mozart. The opening statement of the slow movement tinkled delicately like a musical box, and Barenboim and the orchestra drew everything together in a finale that stressed the work's thematic unity.
This relatively neglected Mozart concerto — which until last year had not been heard at the Proms in over 40 seasons — was matched after interval with one of the Bruckner symphonies least likely to leave orchestral library shelves. By Brucknerian standards, the Sixth Symphony is a compact work, so it is probably the strange unease of the music — exemplified in the fiddly rhythms of the first movement — and its overall ambiguity that deter listeners and interpreters alike. But this performance made satisfying sense: conducting from memory and with no unnecessary gestures, Barenboim showed complete grasp of its architecture, and the Staatskapelle's tonal qualities proved ideal.
