Questo cofanetto di otto cd, venduto ad un prezzo convenientissimo, raccoglie tutte le registrazioni di Richard Strauss effettuate da Mehta per la Sony. È presente anche un'opera intera, la Salomè, che sebbene abbia in Èva Marton una protagonista dalla voce non ideale, è condotta con intelligenza e possiede un suono che è la quintessenza dello Strauss nel suo periodo quasi espressionista.
Il resto è della stessa qualità. Probabilmente il Maestro indiano ha dato il meglio di sé, quantomeno nei poemi sinfonici, nelle registrazioni targate Decca, ma anche qui non si scherza. Non sono presenti tutti i grandi titoli del repertorio straussiano: mancano all'appello il Don Chisciotte, Till Eulenspiegel e Morte e Trasfigurazione, oltre al sottovalutato Macbeth. Ma quelli inclusi nel cofanetto, pur non essendo registrazioni epocali, sono il frutto del massimo livello che dei professionisti di primo rango (in genere Mehta è a capo dei Berliner, tranne che per il Don Juan, in cui l'orchestra è la Los Angeles Philharmonic) sanno trarre da una routine di lusso. Spicca la Sinfonia delle Alpi, da sempre una specialità di Mehta, che sebbene non raggiunga i vertici di quella targata Decca con la Los Angeles Philharmonic, è un'interpretazione lievemente superiore alla lussuosa routine sopracitata.
Ma la vera chicca, quella che vale l'acquisto del cofanetto, è il quinto cd: raccoglie, oltre alla più nota prima sequenza di valzer dal Cavaliere della Rosa, vere e proprie rarità quali le fantasie sinfoniche tratte da La Donna senz'ombra e Die Liebe der Danae, oltre ai meravigliosi quattro interludi tratti da Intermezzo. L'unico disco che può competere con questo è quello di André Previn alla testa della Filarmonica di Vienna, uscito nel 1993 per Deutsche Grammophon, insuperabile nella suite del Rosenkavalier e soprattutto nei quattro interludi, ma ormai fuori catalogo e privo delle altre due suite sinfoniche. Ed inoltre si parla di inezie a livello qualitativo: Zubin Mehta e i Berliner suonano questa musica con una finezza e un timbro orchestrale che ha veramente pochi eguali, causa anche, tocca ammetterlo, la scarsità di concorrenza.
In breve, se possedete e conoscete già a fondo lo Strauss della classica triade Kempe-Reiner-Karajan, non esitate a far vostro anche questo cofanetto. Avete molti motivi per farlo: il prezzo, le stupende rarità contenute nel cd numero 5, e soprattutto l'occasione di conoscere uno dei più grandi direttori straussiani degli ultimi cinquant'anni.
Why this remake isn't heard more often is beyond me, as is the companion Heldeleben: how faithfully Sony managed to catch full grain of those Berliner brass - fury of Walstatt caught with utter eloquence, what a sound, I can't start to describe it in ample words.
Plus there's the Horn Concerto No.1 Karajan never recorded, nor did Hauptmann... his long time colleague Gerd Seifert did it 5 years ago in 1989, when Karajan was still alive (yet sadly might not be in the best of terms with this orchestra).
Last but not least, Karajan did Salome with VPO in Sofiensaal with Decca team for EMI, would you like to hear "his" Berliner do this colorful yet powerful score caught in high fidelity? Here is it, Sony sound was as glorious as one would ever dream it to be. Sumptuous...
Curiously absent from this box set are two of Strauss's most beloved/popular works: Till Euslenspiegel's Merry Pranks and Death and Transfiguration. Doing a little research, it appears Mehta never recorded these works - at least not commercially. In Decca's more complete 2002 box set, which compiled all of Mehta's earlier recordings with the L.A. Phil (combined with other recordings to make a comprehensive set), these two works were represented by alternative conductors. One wonders why Mehta didn't record them. And it is a pity that SONY didn't include any version of them in this box set. For me this is a detriment to the appeal of this set. A Richard Strauss collection without Till?
However, what we do have is quite wonderful. Mehta brings his usual energy and momentum to these works. And if these later readings are missing just a touch of the freshness and sheer verve so brilliantly displayed in his earlier L.A. Philharmonic recordings (for Decca), there is no denying the Berlin Philharmonic plays magnificently for him here. And the recorded sound is quite good throughout - warmer and with a more natural acoustic than typically heard on most of DG's recordings of this orchestra.
I will mention a couple of individual selections which merit it, including the one big disappointment: Barenboim's attempt at Burleske. Oh my. How piano playing of such sloppiness was approved for release is a complete shock. There is a lot of fluffing and even some wrong notes sprinkled in. But the remainder of the set is pure gold. The Symphonia Domestica is a highlight, Mehta bringing a real sense of direction and rhapsodic sweep to the score. Disc 5 is another standout - the Die Frau ohne Schatten Symphonic Fantasy is particularly winning, as is the more familiar Der Rosenkavalier suite. And this is one of the most successful Alpine Symphonies available (and it sounds excellent too.)
As to this RCA Don Juan with the L.A. Philharmonic, to my knowledge it has been previously available only on an expensive, 2007 JVC xrcd24 Japanese audiophile disc. It shows its age only slightly, with a touch of thinness/distortion on the upper range of violins and trumpets during fortissimo passages, but otherwise sounds absolutely splendid. SONY has remastered it with their own 24-bit methods and it sounds very close to the JVC, but not quite as refined. The slight thinness in the upper range of climaxes is more pronounced. However, the differences are minimal and really don't matter, as this is a glorious performance - the young Mehta bursting with endless energy and enthusiasm with an orchestra so eager to please him. The strings in particular sing and soar with yearning and passion. This set is almost worth it just for this! (The single JVC disc costs more than this entire box.)
I make no claims to being an opera expert and thus cannot comment on the complete Salome or the single disc of arias. I can say they are enjoyable, well recorded, and I heard nothing which should be cause for complaint.
All in all, I highly enjoyed this set. I almost always enjoy hearing recordings from Zubin Mehta, and this set is no exception. He truly has a real gift of bringing this music to life with exuberance and natural energy.
