5 out of 5 stars "the evidence of a great witness".......2007-01-19

These five volumes of Shostakovich's Complete Songs are simply astonishing. If admirers have with good reason found the private voice of the composer in his string quartets, there's another, perhaps more intimate voice to be found in his songs. Let this review stand for the entire collection - each disc yields generous returns. An entirely Russian production recorded in Russia, this is estimable treasure. If you love Shostakovich's music, the breadth of revelation found throughout these discs is overwhelming. Here is Shostakovich the man, genius, survivor, sufferer - but never victim. The works themselves are no less than a kind of eternal definition of art, an all-encompassing humanity borne by one man to our lasting benefit. The singing performances are uniformly excellent, as are the production values on every level, with fine sonics. Among the Russian singers who contribute, soprano Victoria Evtodieva, mezzo Liudmila Shkirtil, and the mighty bass Fyodor Kuznetsov stand out. Most of the songs are set for voice and piano. The cycles and a number of other songs use orchestration of varying details. Pianist Yuri Serov, besides distinguished playing, provides insightful commentary with each disc, ideal remarks full of detail - the title of this review is taken from his notes on 'The Anti-Formalist Raree Show', which he hails as '...a striking document of that bygone era, the evidence of a great witness.' What more fitting could be said of these amazing musical works and their composer? Full translation of every song text is included in each of the discs.

5 out of 5 stars A high point in Haitink's cycle.......2007-01-14

Shostakovich, like his friend Benjamin Britten, worte in a more austere, often bleak style toward the end of his life, and both composers, while never fully abandoning tonality, were at times so crytpic that they might have been writing for themselves. The Shostakovich 15th Sym., here given a very sympathetic reading by Hiatink in excellent, vivid sound, stands out for its melody and pathos. The quotations from Tristan, Wiliam Tell, etc. are considered cryptic, but there's no reason to be mystified. Collage is a familiar musical technique, and Shostakovich, whose musings on mortality may have awakened old memories of Wanger and Rossini simply because he loved them, embedded all the quotations in original settings.

Audiences tend to like the Fifteenth, and Haitink makes it even more accessible by underplaying the moments of bleakness and irony. That's consistent--his Shostakovich cyle was Middle European in style rather than Soviet. For more bite and depth, turn to Kurt Sanderling in his famous reading with the Cleveland Orch., but there's room for Haitink's reading, which is very well played by the London Phil., an orchestra for whim he had a great deal of affection.

Russia has a shameful streak of anti-Semitism in its history, and although the Soviet Union officially banned such things, Shostakovich confronted the authorities with their hypocrisy in a series of daring works, including Sym. 13 'Babi Yar' and the Piano Quintet, with its Jewish folk quotations in the finale. Here he turns to a volume of fok poetry that he found during the war. alarmed by the treatment of Jedws under Stalin, he devised simple melodies for these 11 songs, written in 1948 but not premiered until after Stalin's death five years later. The tunes are often doleful and seem authentically Jewish, even though they are original to Shostakovich. The performers do an exemplary job here.

In all, this last installment in Haitink's cycle is also one of its high points.

5 out of 5 stars A Fine Shostakovich Symphony No. 15 and a Rare Bonus.......2005-11-15

Shostakovich's Symphony No. 15 has always polarized audiences, even those who are committed admirers of his music. Some find the quotations from Rossini and Wagner intrusive and facetious if not cheap, while others (this listener for one) have grown into this magnificent elegy by the tortured Shostakovich and consider it one his greatest achievements. Bernard Haitink and the London Philharmonic Orchestra give a sparkling account of the work and while it does not have the ultimate pathos of, say the Rostropovich approach, the overall arc of the symphony is well thought and the inner components of the orchestral playing are superb.

While it is never fair to compare a recorded version with a live performance, having just had the joy of hearing young Russian conductor Andrey Boreyko guest conduct the LA Philharmonic in what seems to be the definitive performance of this great work only serves notice that we have a new Shostakovich expert rising in the ranks. Hopefully he will survey all 15 symphonies on recordings!

Symphony No 15 has everything Shostakovich did best in orchestration - pairing pizzicato strings against woodwind and brass choirs, embellishing sustained string chordal clouds with tinkling percussive instruments of every description, heavily grounded deep strings and tubas with solo instrument 'riffs', and above all creating occult messages about his personal conviction within the framework of the music. This symphony, being his last, ends with a movement based on the fate motif of Wagner exhaling to the final pages of soft high percussion ticking away at the clock of life that finally ends in death. It is overwhelmingly touching.

Haitink conducts the Concertbegouw Orchestra in 'From Jewish Folk Poetry', a rarely heard, completely apropos companion piece for this recording. Soloists Elisabeth Soderstrom, Ortrun Wenkel, and Ryszard Karczykowski breathe life into these works and offer us a side of Shostakovich for the most part unknown to audiences, at least in this country. This additional work more than justifies choosing this CD to add the 15th to your library. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, November 05

3 out of 5 stars An awfully primitive symphony, and a daring song cycle.......2005-04-29

This Decca disc is the last in the series of Shostakovich's symphonies conducted by Bernard Haitink. It includes the composer's final symphony, the 15th, performed by the London Philharmonic, and the disc is filled out with his series "From Jewish Folk Poetry" performed by the Concertgebouw.

"Symphony No. 15" (1971) is, like the 14th, clearly inspired by the ageing composer's knowledge of his own mortality. However, while the 14th was concerned with the terror and inevitability of death, the 15th is a retrospective examination of the composer's whole life. It's opening movement with its evocations of toys and games is meant to represent childhood and the occasional appearance of the "William Tell Overture" speaks something about the innocence of youth. The subsequent plethora of quotations from earlier works summaries the composer's career. Those familiar with Shostakovich's work will notice bits here from nearly all his symphonies, such as the elegant inclusion of the DSCH motif from the 10th. There are also quotations from Wagner, Mahler, and Tchaikovsky.

I find this work quite disappointing. By the early seventies, serialism and other modern techniques were well-known in the Soviet Union, even if facing official disapproval. In the previous decade other Soviet composers like Part and Gubaidulina had already made use of this progress in music. Shostakovich, however, continues to write with the same tools he always has, even though this is now historically superseded. It's not bad music, in fact it is quite pleasant and entertaining, but there is little original insight. The work also seems to lose energy towards the end, with the third and fourth movements being quite lethargic, though this may be Haitink's fault.

"From Jewish Folk Poetry" for soloists and piano (1948) was a daring work, written just as Stalin was considering a series of pogroms against the Jews which would be as terrible as anything done in Nazi Germany. For a composer to show solidarity with these persecuted people, especially after his second official condemnation, is a display of the greatest courage. The songs are filled with tragedy, as is evident with titles such as "The Lament for a Dead Baby", "Before a Long Parting", "The Abandoned Father", "The Song of Misery". The closing piece is the absurdly ironic "The Good Life". Shostakovich seems to have wisely chosen to let the words of the songs carry the message and keep only a minimum of orchestration for the sake of variety. The soloists here are Elisabeth Soderstrom and Ortrun Wenkel and, while their performances are satisfactory, I have never been happy with the quality of this recording, which makes all the instrumental forces seem packed together.

All in all, the 15th isn't as impressive as most of the composer's earlier works and seems crippled by the limitations of its musical language. The song cycle, on the other hand, is an elegant piece worth hearing. If you haven't heard any of Decca's Shostakovich series with Haitink conducting, try the disc with the 5th and 9th, or the disc with the morbid but fascinating 14th filled out with the great song cycle from poems of Tsvetaeva.

5 out of 5 stars A sane approach.......2003-04-10

You dont go to Haitink for extremes or quirkiness, so it may seem odd to recommend his recording of a work which some other conductors play as if it was the epitome of irony and quirkiness. But, just as his Mahler 6th of the early sixties offered a truly symphonic and comprehensible picture of that dark and tragic work, so this Shostakovich 15th brings us profundity mixed with tenderness viewed through sanity. And its that very sanity, which some critics (e.g. the authors of the Good CD Guide) deride, which makes the ethereal ending of the 15th so moving and yet so understandable, so human and universal in a way which more obviously edgy performances can't do. The sound is equally analytical and clear, both involving and yet also distancing in exactly the way the symphony is. There is a place for white-hot Shostakovitch interpretations, especially in the 15th, but there is also a place for this pensive and profoundly human one.

5 out of 5 stars Near perfection..........2001-05-18

Being an instrumentalist, I've never been bothered by the complaints of my friends that Meredith Monk has no lyrics -- like a great, perfectly blended wind ensemble, her cast gives a flawless and nuanced performance throughout. At equal turns ecstasy of beauty, eery and haunting, and laugh-out-loud spritely, the two parts I didn't like on this CD were, unsuprisingly, the improvisational bagpipe and the eery but jarring Madwoman's Song. But with an experimenter like Meredith Monk, not everything will hit with everybody, and these thematically provided appropriate contrast to the unrelenting beauty of the rest of the CD. Ms. Monk's unique style and ever strong voice fit perfectly with the medieval setting. Now, anyone know where to find the movie this is the soundtrack to? I've been intrigued with finding it since the day I got this CD of peace and beauty...

5 out of 5 stars Her most satisfying work.......2000-11-13

The finest, most fully realized Meredith Monk cd, methinks. The medieval theme does her well, puts her vocal explorations in a context that really brings out the magic in the music. One of the few CDs I know that can completely transform the feel of a room it's being played in. Wonderful.

This is really an extraordinary recording. I would say its one of the best new recordings I've heard in quite some time. Turovsky's performance on the Bloch "Prayer" is about as good of cello playing as one is likely to hear. I was also impressed with the Prokofiev; usually, I rather dislike Prokofiev but this piece is excellent. I would recommend this CD to anyone.

      5 out of 5 stars Emotion and Insight - a powerful combination..........2005-09-19

      This CD should be on the CD racks of anyone interested in Shostakovich and his music. For several reasons:

      1) because it is so interesting and insightful to hear Shostakovich playing his own music at the piano - remembering that before he turned to composing he was on the verge of a major concert pianist career...
      2) because the playing and singing is extremely heartfelt and beautiful - a real PERFORMANCE of the music.
      3) because the CD presents music which is not particularly well known and deserves wider performance (and acclaim).
