Music : Classical : Lossless





Vaclav Neumann (1920-95) was the first conductor behind the Iron Curtain to record all the Mahler symphonies. He did so
with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, where he was kaepllmesiter from 1964-68, and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra of
these recordings, where he gained greatest fame as chief conductor from 1968-90. 



Perhaps owing to the enforced mantra of Socialist reality in East Germany and Czechoslovakia during his time, beauty
tends to replace neuroses in his recordings. Indeed, Neumann's Mahler is about as far removed temperamentally as
possible from the Mahler-as-neurotic standard of Bernstein, Solti, Tilson Thomas and others in the West. 



Instead, Neumann focuses on beauty of sound and orchestral execution. Even in the tempestuous closing movement of the
"Tragic" Symphony No. 6, where Mahler's hero ascends only to consistently be knocked down by timpani strokes, there is
lovelineess in Neumann's interpretation and in the playing of the Czech orchestra. 



There is prodigious beauty herre in the Symphonies Nos. 1-4, 8 and the 22-minute fragment of Symphony 10. The best work
in the box, in my opinion, comes in these scores. The "Titan" symphony is magnificently played and recorded and is
linked to the Adagio of Mahler's incomplete Symphony 10. Neumann's "Resurrection" symphony -- a tidy and exciting
75-minute performance -- has been famous for years. Greatest surprise to me was the wonderful performance of the
Symphony No. 4, which intermingles charm and drama with a child's view of heaven. This performance may be the best one
in the set and one of the few by this conductor and orchestra I had never previously read about. 



Similar plaudits are due Neumann's conception of the two longest and most immalleable of Mahler creations, the
Symphonies Nos. 3 and 8. For the first time in my experience these symphonies are unified, beautiful and logical. The
playing, singing, pacing and overall interpretation of both lengthy symphonies gives them a lighter than air feeling
when compared to more volatile (and more famous) renditions I've encountered from Solti, Abbado, Bernstein and Rattle.




While some critics sing the praises of the Neumann-Czech Philharmonic renditions of the Symphonies 5-7, I found none of
them to be of the first rank. The 9th isn't bad, just average. The others have lengthy stretches of boring, average or
wayward interpretaion and playing, espcially Symphony No. 7. Neumann did much better work on Symphonies 5-7 with the
Gewandhaus Orchestra in recordings from the 1960s. While out of print in USA, you may be able to find used copies on
Amazon. It would be worth your search especially for the magisterial Neumann-Gewandhaus collaboration of the Symphony
No. 7. 



These recordings, made in Prague's Rudolfinum across the digital divide from 1976-83, are unrelentingly beautiful and
rich in orchestral detail with recordings that match them every step of the way. The playing refelcts the old world
practices of one of the world's most unique ensembles with occasional Slavic bray in horns and woodwinds intact to
superb effect. 



These qualities, plus the six superb interpretations, make this set desirable for anyone that wants to expand their
Mahler collection or buy a first set where the conductor has a unified approach.





Enjoy and Seed!!
