For all its popularity, the Fifth is a difficult work to bring off–largely a question of getting the transitions and tempo relationships just right in the complex first movement. Ashkenazy’s Fourth is as atmospheric as one could wish, yet in the final analysis doesn’t plumb its tragic depths as fully as Karajan (EMI or DG), Davis/BSO, or Maazel/VPO. Indeed Ashkenazy’s rendition of the elusive Third must join the short list of unqualifiedly successful versions (right up there, in my estimation with Kamu/Helsinki, though much better played, and Davis/BSO or LSO). Moreover, the sumptuous playing of the Philharmonia, vividly captured by the Decca engineers, will draw you in regardless of any initial reservations.Īshkenazy is at his best in the tone-poems and other short orchestral works (“En Saga” has rarely if ever been surpassed, and “Luonnatar” is not far behind “Tapiola” is first-rate also, if not ideally chilling), and in Symphonies 1, 2, 3 and 7. On the other hand, Ashkenazy effectively conveys the dramatic tensions of these works as well as their their bardic-heroic qualities. What it lacks is that northern chill, that brooding sensibility, which some listeners would regard as a sine qua non of Sibelius interpretation. Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2009Īshkenazy’s Sibelius cycle was one of his early successes as a conductor, and as such helped to launch what has latterly become a distinguished “second career.” Decca/Universal have now collected together all of Ashkenazy’s Sibelius recordings–including the Seven Symphonies, the Violin Concerto, some of the better-known tone poems, and four shorter works with violin and orchestra (the latter particularly welcome given that they remain under-appreciated).Īshkenazy’s approach to the composer is fresh-faced and vital, though not entirely idiomatic.
