Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) – Complete Masterpieces – CDs 54 a 61 – FINAL

Os últimos cds desta coleção da Sony são dedicados à obra vocal de Beethoven. Teremos então desde obras totalmente desconhecidas, ao menos para mim, como as ‘Canções das Ilhas Britânicas”, passando pela “Missa Solemnis”, o “Cristo no Monte das Oliveiras”,  concluindo com a única ópera que ele escreveu, “Fidélio”.
E continuamos a ter solistas desconhecidos intercalados com outros mais conhecidos, como Zinman, que volta com a “Missa Solemnis”, e Kurt Masur, que é o condutor do “Fidelio”. Ah, ainda temos Michael Tilson Thomas, com outra obra obscura intitulada “Cantata pela Morte do Imperador Joseph II”.
As escolhas que a gravadora Sony fez podem nos parecer estranhas, mas temos de levar em consideração que ela pertence a um grupo imenso, ao qual pertencem outras gravadoras “menores”. Entendo então que eles deram voz a este catálogo menos conhecido. Na soma total, o resultado me pareceu satisfatório. Destacaria as Sinfonias com o David Zinman, o Christian Tetzlaff no Concerto para violino e Yefim Bronfman nos Concertos para Piano.
Temos diversas outras opções aqui no PQPBach da maior parte destas obras, os senhores podem procurá-las para fazerem as devidas comparações.

Espero que tenham apreciado o esforço. Demorou, mas consegui completar essa coleção.

P.S. O CD 61 traz um riquissimo booklet com importantes informações sobre cada uma das obras. O que deixa a desejar é um informativo melhor sobre os intérpretes.
