The Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Wojciech Rajski
In contrast to the contemplative, peaceful
character of Beethoven?s Sixth Symphony,
disharmony and contention was rife everywhere
around it. Not only was the very first performance
bungled and criticised by musical 'clairvoyants'
of the day who saw their vision of a heroic
musical titan fade away in the sensitive
melodiousness of the music, but the never-ending
question of whether this is programme music or
absolute music was raised continuously.
The interpretation is quite another matter,
however. The 'Pastorale? Symphony is a real
challenge and test for every orchestra when it
comes to producing a refined sound and finely
graded changes of tempo.
Here, Wojciech Rajski and his Polish Philharmonic
Chamber Orchestra ? who have won international
acclaim for their Beethoven recordings ? are in
their element. With a succinct yet differentiated
sound colouring in the strings in all registers,
the ensemble treads lightly through the
picturesque landscape, carefully weighs in each
melodious figure, and produces crackling,
sparkling tension through sensitive changes of
tempo. In the Finale one can quite justly speak of
an abundance of gorgeous sound, and one must
certainly be thankful for the use of pure analogue
technique that results in such wonderful sound in
this studio recording.
