Customer Reviews of Schnittke: Symphony 6 / Concerto Grosso 2 / Polyansky
The Sixth, finally! Thanks to Poliansky conducting an impeccable orchestra splendidly recorded, Schnittke's enigmatic sixth symphony comes to life. Forgotten the babble of the previous bis recording of this work: now the orchestral colors are revealed. Close to the 5 aphorisms for piano, the structure is ascetic and borrow a theme from the St Florian, second symphony and expand it to the point of disjointing it with long pauses. One may think of Tarkovsky in the way Schnittke explores in this arduous work.
So why only 4 stars?
Because of the Concerto Grosso number 2 hysterical rendition by Gridenko and Ivashkin. One can only recall what musicians like Oleg Kagan and Gutman brought to this wonderful music (Russian recording, USSR ministry of Culture Symphony Orch. Rozhdestvensky conducting 1986/87) to measure our loss... Here: lost the humour, the lyricism, the mystery and the music alltogether. Too bad since the pairing was quite smart, Poliansky was again amazing and the recording quality superb.
However, the sixth symphony makes this CD a must have. The sixth and seventh symphonies are now available conducted by Poliansky on Chandos and I can toss maestro Otaka's cacophony: Finally!
