Pierre Boulez leads the Vienna Philharmonic in the "Song of the Earth" of Gustav Mahler, his non-symphony of
songs, with mezzo Violeta Urmana and tenor Michael Schade.
A pan of the SACD Version from Classics Today
Multichannel sound adds nothing to this unremarkable performance (for Victor Carr Jr"s original review, enter
Q2959 in the search box), save for perhaps a degree of artificial closeness to the voices (the best thing about
the performance, granted). Horns too, in the opening song, leap out of the texture at the expense of good balance
with the strings. But the real problem lies in Pierre Boulez"s incredibly dull and disinterested conducting,
which keeps all of the accompaniments on the same uninflected, emotionally glacial plain.
Having heard him live, it"s now clear that tenor Michael Schade has no business attempting this music, but under
studio conditions he does a good job, and Violeta Urmana sounds pretty marvelous in Der Abschied; but both
deserve better than what Boulez delivers. After all, this is a symphony, and it can survive indifferent singing
much more readily than anesthetized playing. Under such circumstances, sonic quality remains a largely irrelevant
side issue.
