 INKPOT#65 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: MAHLER Symphony No.2 "Resurrection". Baker/Harper/Bavarian RSO/Klemperer (EMI)
From the vaults of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra comes a 'live' recording of Mahler's Second Symphony with Otto Klemperer.
Among his other recordings of this Symphony, one has the distinction of being one of the very longest recordings of the work, and another has the distinction of being the very shortest.
The final orchestra climax is a model of how to build a forte-fortissimmo, and it is earth-shaking and shattering - one of the most convincing, if not the most convincing that I have heard on record.

The orchestra owes its extraordinarily varied repertoire, ranging from 18th century works all the way to the present day, to the various specialized interests of its previous chief conductors as well as to the considerable flexibility and stylistic security of each individual musician.
Rafael Kubelík, who led the orchestra for 18 years (1961 to 1979), expanded the repertoire to include the works of such Slavic composers as Smetana, Janácek and Dvorák, gave special attention to 20th century composers like Karl Amadeus Hartmann, and conducted the first Mahler cycle to be recorded with a German orchestra.
His impulsive-emotional music-making style was highly regarded by all the orchestra members and made the "Kubelík Era" one of the most fruitful ones in the ensemble's history.

There are many moments to cherish in his performance of the symphony, not least the delicious woodwind playing and the tangy trumpets in the third movement's Fiddler on the Roof music.
The orchestra might be a little thin in the strings, but they speak with Mahler's "voice" in a way that few other orchestras are able to capture -- there is a slightly rustic quality to their sound that captures the open air quality of Mahler's music.
But Mahler himself wrote "...the symphony goes far beyond the love story on which it is based...." Plenty of hope-to-die lost love crawls through the lyrics of the "Wayfarer" songs, however.

However, fans of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra will not be disappointed by their exquisite playing that is just as splendid as their peers in Berlin and Vienna.
Lorin Maazel and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra managed to achieve the balance in their performances and they sound as if they played the works out of admiration rather than anything else.

Update, 21 IV 2005: I have since discovered the new recording of this symphony with Mariss Jansons and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra on EMI and it combines the strengths of the records here discussed (the Gergiev and the Barshai).
With four of six planned symphonies under his belt, the verdict is not quite in.
If this most Mahlerian of Shostakovich's symphonies (just listen to the opening of the 2nd movement to hear Mahler with a Russian accent) is not as difficult to grasp as the disjointed structure and independent, parallel elements would suggest, it is because of its wild, riveting, sometimes abrasively glorious assault on our senses.
