Eu diria que esta coleção começa a engrenar aqui, com este CD de número 4. Aqui o bicho pega.
A Sinfonia de nº 4 é de uma força tremenda, já no seu início, com os sopros mostrando a que vieram, e logo depois, as cordas, ah, as cordas da Filarmônica de Berlim… que unidade, que coerência, que precisão… em minha opinião, é a partir desta obra que Tchaikovsky começa a ser conhecido como grande sinfonista, apesar das críticas negativas na época de sua estréia com o tempo ela se impôs, e é uma das obras mais executadas e gravadas do compositor russo até os dias de hoje.
A alma russa está sempre presente na obra de Tchaikovsky, mas aquele romantismo tão característico se impõe em sua obra. Ela intercala momentos de explosão e de tranquilidade, nos levando à extremos. Gostei deste comentário do resenhista da Wikipedia:
The Fourth Symphony is where Tchaikovsky’s struggles with Western sonata form came to a head. In some ways he was not alone. The Romantics in general were never natural symphonists because music was to them primarily evocative and biographical. Western musical form, as developed primarily by Germanic composers, was analytical and architectural; it simply was not designed to handle the personal emotions the Romantics wished to express.The difference with Tchaikovsky was that while the other Romantics remained generally autobiographical in what they wanted to express, he became more specific and, consequently, more intense.
In his first three symphonies he had striven to stay within strict Western form. The turbulent changes in his personal life, including his marital crisis, now led him to write music so strongly personal and expressive that structural matters could not stay as they had been. Beginning with the Fourth Symphony, the symphony served as a human document—dramatic, autobiographical, concerned not with everyday things but with things psychological. This was because Tchaikovsky’s creative impulses had become unprecedentedly personal, urgent, capable of enormous expressive forcefulness, even violence.
A outra obra do CD é a famosa gravação das “Variações sobre um Tema Rococo” com o grande, quiçá o maior violoncelista do século XX, Mstislav Rostropovich. É considerada a gravação definitiva dessa obra.
Enfim, para quem curte fortes emoções, eu diria que este CD é altamente recomendável. Claro que leva o selo de IM-PER-DÍ-VEL!!!
