Tchaikowski's Sixth Symphony. "The Pathetique."

Otto Klemperer leading strikingly beautiful, achingly sad, and powerfully driven performance with the Philharmonia. Where the music calls for quieter playing this is wonderfully graded into the structure of the dynamic ...

Not for everyone, especially if you are used to the Mravinski style with the Leningrad Philharmonic, but as pure music making that is as individual in its response as it is faithful to the text - this is easily my favourite performance on records. It is quite amazing to listen to the great music played with all the accelerations and slowings in place without ever a single phrase crushed or glossed over. It is phenomenally well played by the Philharmonia at their very best, and this shows in the myriad of details - often wonderfully brought out articulation in the inner voices - that so often get lost in the mass of forte sound. Thus the performance grows a tremendous momentum that has an implacable power from which the beauty and sadness in the music grow with the inevitable strength that comes in another sense from a well-tended garden. Unique actually as a Tchakowski performance in my experience.

On EMI CD.

ATB from George

Complete Sonatas for Violin and Piano by Ludwig van Beethoven: Alexander Melnikov (Piano), Isabelle Faust (Violin)

Nice choice Haim. I'm taking a break from any Cello this weekend before I return. I've been working on the Franck Sonata with a cellist and I have it mostly learnt now but will have to spend the summer especially learning the 2nd movement Allegro and brush up on the 4th movement.
