Vladimir Jurowski – Live From The Royal Festival Hall (2 Dvd)
Review
Jurowski leads a program of modernism and its antecedents. His way with Wagner’s Prelude to “Parsifal” is so voluptuously patient that it seems drug-enhanced. Mahler’s early cantata “Das Klagende Lied,” with good solo singers, sounds aptly like modernism itching to get out of its Romantic clothes. The fever dreams of Alban Berg’s Three Orchestral Pieces come alive with rich playing and mellow surround sound. Although from 1914, Berg’s Expressionistic intricacies still demanded 75 percent of Jurowski’s rehearsal time. He reveals this in a 50-minute interview in which he also lays out his philosophies for a 21st-century orchestra with charismatic warmth. — NJ Star-Ledger, Bradley Bambarger
