Dave Hurwitz - His take on Mahler's 2nd

Good evaluation here.

MIFrost

[Alex Brown]

Not much to disagree with there, though me me his final choice is more
B++ than A class, and I think Tennstedt's 1989 live recording (my
favourite as discussed here recently) tops even his studio recording by
some margin.

Unfortunately, having burnt out on M2 in my youth it's not a piece I can
listen to much. I haven't listened to a recording for over two years.
Was meant to be attending a performance during the Mahler Festival in
the Concertgebouw this May, but then coronavirus happened :-(

And I would warn anyone that Hurwitz's top choice - Ivan Fischer on Channel - has a very wide dynamic range, so it's not going to be for everyone.

Yes!

[msw design]

To my mind the sleepers are sleepy. Litton's Mahler 2 first movement is tame. Blomstedt's orchestral tone and conducting manner make the second movement sound like Brahms. I know he disdains Rattle, but I would fully expect his CBSO Mahler 2 to overpower either of these two. (I don't know Levi well.)

I generally like Fischer, but I find the phrasing irritating. I like all the rest of the picks better- Ozawa, Walter and Klemperer. Masterclass is Lenny 60s and either of Tennstedt's LPO ones, probably the earlier one.

[msw design]

The box is the best value:

[ybschr...@gmail.com]

This was an entertaining and informative segment, but I was underwhelmed by his final choice of Fischer/Budapest. I have this recording and wasn't crazy about it all. Wasn't impressed at all with anything - Fischer's approach, the playing, the sound (it's a Hybrid SACD and admittedly I was only able to listen to it in 2-channel stereo), and to my ears the bells at the end were out of tune! This recording got rave reviews all around, but I was quite disappointed in this...

Based on David's - and your - recommendation, I downloaded the Tennstedt and I find it absolutely wonderful. I'm glad you recommended it. I especially like how he plays the soft and tender passages. There's much to appreciate in this recording. I also just ordered the Bernstein on DG which I know I once owned many years ago and must have misplaced somewhere along the way. The M2 is a terrific work.

Gotta figure ICA paid something for it. They are above-board, after all.

To my surprise, I find Dave Hurwitz's channel really enjoyable, and have
subscribed. The long form is much better for him I think than the
written classicstoday reviews, which can come across as a bit testy or
dogmatic. Having a "baggier" video allows him to show where he's coming
from - and he obviously has has a lot of knowledge and loves music and
the whole businesss of recordings.

Of course, he has some bees in his bonnet and there's no point arguing
over taste (right?). But he's made me rethink some recordings I own and
got me seeking out new ones.

C. I don't have time, or the inclination to listen to 50 recordings of Mahler's 2nd to figure out which is "best".

[Owen]

Agreed. Had to listen to the Tennstedt twice because it is so good.

In fact, I heard it on spotify and ordered the CD because I wanted to
hear it in the best sound.

-Owen

[Frank Berger]

Sometimes on Youtube I'll compare the first or last few
minutes of a work across 5 or 10 performances. In view of
the praise here for Tennstedt's Mahler 2nd (with which I
concur), I listened to the finale of his 1st and found it a
little tepid. I much preferred Bernstein's with the Vienna
PO. But then I only listened to each once and then only to
the end. Next time I might get a different impression.

[Ricardo Jimenez]

I also don't value his "which is best performance" opinions. For me,
he has the same function as RMCR, suggesting items to add to my
Spotify list. For example, I had never heard before of Portuguese
composer Luís de Freitas Branco before Hurwitz recommended some Naxos
recordings of his orchestral music.

[Alex Brown]

Interesting, Tennstedt's first Mahler 1 recording (1978 on EMI I think)
was a recording which (according to Richard Osborne) "fascinated"
Herbert von Karajan, and led him to ask for a meeting - "an invitation
which so thrilled and alarmed Tennstedt he was half drunk when he
arrived". The result was Tennstedt being invited to make recordings with
the Berlin PO.

Sadly, all those recordings fail to catch fire, at least to my ears.

Tennstedt's recordings run the gamut from absolutely thrilling to tepid.
He seemed to be studio microphone shy, as his best work is in his live
recordings, many, like the 1989 Mahler 2, are masterpieces of performance.

-Owen

[msw design]

I thought Tennstedt was a blind spot for me until I found the right live recordings. Then you recognize the guy was a genius. The Ptofil Eroica is top notch, with a funeral march that is steady, unrelenting and far more impactful than most. That movement is the weak spot for me - a performance that grabs your attention in the funeral march is something special. (Walter's mono recording also comes to mind).

I love how someone commented that Dave reminded them of Uncle Fester and Dave replied that the comment delighted him. Dave's got some fizz that didn't show up in print.

The LPO 1st or the Chicago live 1st? I don't find it tepid at all.

Chicago. As I said, I only compared that last few minutes
with Bernstein's Vienna recordings. The Chicago brass
sounded great. Seemed like the Bernstein ending was more
emotional, more dramatic.

It appears you are correct. However, if you look up the live recording on his web site, ClassicsToday, you will find that he gives this live recording a 10 and refers to it as a reference recording. So maybe he likes them equally?

That is possible. But if it is hardly better than - or equal to - the studio

In another thread I got the impression that the live recording is much,

I quite like the studio recording but - as with many of that EMI cycle -
there's a feeling of "here we are in Kingsway Hall making a recording".

The 1989 live one has the special frisson of a real, red hot,
performance - perhaps as much as any recording has that frisson IMO.

That's the later one. And it is really fine.

I just compared the first movements from '81, '89 and studio, which was done several days after the '81 live performance. The studio recording sounds soft-edged and aurally dead. Admittedly, the mics are closer in the two live performances, but each has an edge that just isn't in the studio performance. I like the '89 performance- the sound is better than '81 by a bit, but the '81 first movement is fire and embers like almost none I've heard. When things aren't blazing, the phrasing is an aftermath of ruins and advancing darkness.

Unfortunately, this one is not on YouTube. And BTW, I don't think his NDR 2, which I have on Memories, and which is also on YouTube, is an equal to these. Wrong orchestra for brutality.

I agree about the sound of the studio one. Aurally dead. Very low volume,
very low dynamics.

I am a little confused now.
The live recording everybody is talking about with so much admiration is the
1989 recording isn't it?
This one:
http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2010/May10/Mahler2_LPO0044.htm
I am sure that in a previous recent thread this one was the strongly
recommended one.

(BTW that review is waaaayyy too long, too detailed. Not to the point.
Interesting statement there: "If, based on his studio cycle for EMI, you’re
allergic to Tennstedt’s approach then this Resurrection Symphony performance
is definitely not for you.")

But the 1981 one is this:

Better performance, equal or better soloists (matter of taste),
exquisite recorded sound, and the engineers did a remarkable job of
bringing out many inner voices you don't usually hear. They are not
just blasting through this, this performance has poise, and allows space
and breath at those moments that are richly worth lingering a bit for
their remarkable beauty.

It's the best M2 I've ever heard, and though I haven't heard all the
Hurwitz has, I've heard the best of his recommendations, and Tennstedt's
beats the other bands.

Not that the '89 would disappoint.

I should spell out that I haven't listened to either completely recently, just compared the first movement. If you can get the '89 cheaply, go for it. If you can get the box for $30, get that.

I am really enjoying DH's site. I think his reviews are informative, and he let's you know why he thinks what he thinks and is grounded in a knowledge of the scores, history, etc. As to 'Best' he has his opinons but I also in my mind equate his best with 'favorites.' He has steered me in good directions in selecting performances of my favorite and new works. I like his enthusiasm too.

MIFrost

[Frank Berger]

I know. Gerard is stressing over the '81. He wants someone
to tell him it's better so he has a reason to buy it.

[Raymond Hall]

To help clear the fog, this account below may help. The 'one to get' is the second of two live performances Tennstedt gave in February of 1989 at RFH.
I have only skirted with the studio box I bought a few years back, but it looks like I'll have to add this one, and begin another Mahler survey. Watching the 'monster' on YT, it was always clear that Tennstedt's intensity on the podium was never in doubt. For a time the LPO was indeed his orchestra.
