Topic: Remo Mazzetti, Jr


  
  double play Independent, The (London) - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Mazzetti generally puts more on the page; he's freer with the counterpoint, and much too free with the percussion, making pointed allusions to the scherzo of the Ninth Symphony with his bass drum and cymbal writing (to say nothing of an over-used and unconvincing snare drum).
And I certainly think that he (Mazzetti) diminishes the chastity of Mahler's inspirational flute melody by filling out the supporting texture and effecting more movement in the harmony (Cooke floats his flute on gossamer string chordings, with added harp adagietto-style).
Remo Mazzetti Jr isn't the first to want to help the Cooke score along a little and he almost certainly won't be the last.

 Tenth is a journey into Mahler's mind
Mazzetti captures the Mahlerian world perfectly, as in the muted, atmospheric third movement, with its chortling winds.
Mazzetti's first attempt was recorded by Leonard Slatkin and the St. Louis Symphony.
Mazzetti's drum strokes in the finale are jolting crashes, detracting from the serenity of the strings.

 Mahler-Mazzetti Symphony No 10: Classical CD Reviews- Feb 2001 MusicWeb(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Remo Mazzetti, on the other hand, whose second version of the work is recorded here, is different from the others in that he began work after they had finished and, in the case of Wheeler and Cooke, after both men had died.
In his first version Mazzetti also sounded like "a kid in a candy shop" in the complexity and fussiness of his scoring so is, in the end, also unconvincing as representative of Mahler's late style there and so that version too must go.
In spite of preferring Mazzetti's latest version to his earlier, it is still Deryck Cooke's final version that I believe is the version of choice.

 Gustav Mahler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
And RCA has just issued the first recording of a realization other than Cooke's: Remo Mazzetti Jr.'s version turns up in the new release from Leonard Slatkin and the St.
Mazzetti's realization begins from the premise that Cooke was too conservative in filling in Mahler's textures, but what he adds doesn't always sound like Mahler.
The flute melody is obscured by meretricious oboe and string counterpoint, and then the little Purgatorio-motif chorale at measures 53-54 is given to the oboes when it should logically go to the flutes (since the flute melody began the redemption process).

 Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 10 in F-Sharp (edited by Remo Mazzetti, Jr.) - Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra / Leonard ...
Mazzetti likely took his own liberties (the consensus seems to indicate that Wheeler left it the barest and closest not only to the original notes, but also to the style Mahler had adapted in his final symphonies).
Mazzetti may also have done the best version of the second movement, though most of the orchestrators have done well with it.
I apologize for getting so passionate about this, but it was as if Mahler had guided Mazzetti´s pen and Slatkin´s baton to see that his unfinished symphony was set forth as a fitting gift to us, nearly a century after his death.

 Symphony No. 10 (Mahler) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carpenter reviewed the other symphonies by Mahler to guide him in his effort in orchestrating the work, though a view has been expressed that much of this process of recomposition gives the impression that he has written his own symphony, using Mahler's as a basis.
The completion by Joseph Wheeler dates from 1953 to 1965, and like Cooke he also refined his ideas several times, so the final version of 1965 was actually the fourth iteration; the American composer Remo Mazzetti Jr.
In recent years several further realisations of the symphony have been attempted: Remo Mazzetti initially made his 1989 version from dissatisfaction with the existing Cooke, Carpenter, and Wheeler editions, though the spur of preparing a performance of Wheeler's version in 1997 led him to recant his earlier view.

The same team is now offering the world premiere recording of the Mazzetti realization of Mahler's "10th" on a new RCA Red Seal release (09026-68190-2).
Mazzetti, with these three versions before him, felt that Cooke and Wheeler had not gone far enough, Carpenter too far; the first two versions were too sparse, the other too dense.

Remo Mazzetti's involvement goes back over two decades: he completed his first realisation in 1989, revising it over the next decade.
The two scherzos often benefit from this lightness of touch, particularly the capricious second movement, but the emotional impact of the outer movements is at times sold short, while the Finale's closing minutes don't have the emotional intensity that Rattle brings to them.
In this version on the other hand the textures have a transparency reminiscent of chamber music, and the work doesn't sound nearly as dark and grim as we're used to - at times I was reminded more of the Fourth symphony than of the Ninth.

However, one thing I've learned about Mahler performances and recordings is that you cannot predict from one work how well a conductor will do with another.....A fine and well-recorded new version, beautifully played, short of the greatest in a competitive market.

It was this version (actually Mazzetti's second go at it) that was heard Friday.
If balances seemed odd at times, blame it on the work's unfinished state, since Mazzetti indicated he would rather err on the spare side than tamper too much with what Mahler left.
There were glorious moments throughout: the taupe coloration of the violas in the opening bars, the ominous spin of the brief ''Satz'' movement with its ''shuddering'' harp glissando at the end, principal flutist Randolph Bowman's serene solo in the finale.

It is Mazzetti's revised version that Jes™s LÛpez-Cobos recorded two years ago in Cincinnati for Telarc.
I prefer Wheeler's version to Mazzetti's, and urge Mahlerians to supplement whichever versions of No. 10 they already have with this budget-priced pearl.

 PlaybillArts: Features: Mahler in St. Louis
In 1994 Leonard Slatkin chose to perform the United States' premiere of American composer Remo Mazzetti Jr.'s completion of Mahler's score.
In characteristic fashion, Slatkin took the first half of the evening to describe to the audience what choices had been made in Mazzetti's revisions.
The Orchestra would perform a phrase by Cooke, then by Mazzetti, and Slatkin would comment on the distinctions.
