Oscar Shumsky, RSNO, Neeme Jarvi - Alexander Glazunov: The Seasons, Op. 67; Violin Concerto, Op. 82 (1988) [Re-Up]

There are many different musical "Seasons" aside from Vivaldi's, and next to Haydn's oratorio of the same name, this is probably the most famous example. The complete ballet is of modest length–only 40 minutes or so–and the autumn "Bacchanal" contains what is probably the catchiest tune that Glazunov ever wrote. You'll probably think that you've heard it before, but can't quite figure out where. Neeme Jarvi is always at his best in big, splashy Romantic pieces, and this performance is no exception. He whips the orchestra up to a fine frenzy where necessary, and given Chandos's fine sound and a sensible coupling, you're in for some good listening.

Review by David Hurwitz

Let's dispense with the Violin Concerto #2 quickly. It's performed well here by Mr. Shumsky. But the work isn't particularly special, and it doesn't linger in the memory for long. The real story here is the ballet "The Seasons." There have been some interesting and idiomatic treatments of this score recorded over the years, including Manuel Rosenthal/Paris Philharmonic and Antal Dorati/Dallas Symphony in the very early years of LPs. Later on, the Ernest Ansermet/Suisse Romande recording on London/Decca was the one to have. Today, we have numerous readings to choose from – most of them utterly bland and formulaic.

And then there's this Jarvi performance. Idiomatic yet swifter than most – one wonders how the dancers on the stage could ever keep up with him – the conductor breathes fresh new life into the score, bringing forth its icy magic and glittering orchestration like no other recording currently available (compare it with the disappointing Vladimir Ashkenazy and Edo de Waart readings and you'll see what I mean). With Jarvi, the 30-minute score is over before you know it, and you'll swear the music is as good as Tchaikovsky's ballets. (It isn't, but the fact that it sounds that way speaks volumes about Jarvi's special way with Glazunov.) This recording merits 5 stars on the basis of the "Seasons" score alone.
