Danacord's Shostakovich disc was the second I heard this year, and it already looks like being one of the best. So what bowls me over about Marshev and company? First, perhaps, amazement at the sophisticated high standards not only from the soloist but from a regional Swedish orchcstra and a Finnish conductor who do everything in their power to make the phrases leap off the printed page. You only have to hear the piano land on the head of an especially vivid trumpeter in the opening bars of the First Concerto, or the unsurpassably characterful bassoons at the start of the Second, to know the kind of company Shostakovich is keeping here. And Marshev is a phenomenon: master of every mood from strip-cartoon crispness to thundering monster, but above all a controlling sensibility of intelligence and feeling. His concerto performances join Shostakovich (EMI) and the dazzling Bronfmann (RCA) right at the top of the list. |
