Editorial Reviews

Herbert von Karajan undoubtedly wished to be remembered as this century's great German conductor. He recorded the complete Beethoven symphonies four times, Brahms twice, Bruckner almost twice. But in truth, he was better at other things, and when he worked outside his standard repertory he usually did his best work--like here, for instance. Von Karajan actually recorded this symphony once before, a good performance. But when he returned to it for a digital retread, he simply let himself go and played the pants off the piece. This performance reveals his stature as an interpreter far more clearly than any number of Beethoven cycles, and fans of the composer should add it to their collections without delay. --David Hurwitz

5.0 out of 5 stars Increadible Hair Raising Shostakovich with Karajan and Berlin Phil

Really enjoyed it. It is very interesting to me how this is the only Shostakovich symphony Karajan conducted. This is probably one of the best recordings of this amazing and hair raising piece.

4.0 out of 5 stars good but too controlled
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2009
Verified Purchase
Although this recording is a good introduction to Shostakovich's brilliant symphony, it is not the best. The dark, shifting and sometimes barbaric moods of this piece are in Karajan's hands too controlled. The first movement is way too precise. Some of the woodwind passages almost sound like Mozart (well, not quite, but you know what I mean). In the fierce second, a bit of barbarity is unleashed, but this is demanded by the music more than the conductor. The benchmark recording of this piece is by Kondrashin and the Moscow Philharmonic, recorded originally on Melodiya in 1973, re-released by Icone in the early 90's, and now available if you can find it in a fine boxed set of Kondrashin's Shoshtakovich symphonies. The Kondrashin recording conveys the full power of the piece. The differences are subtle but once heard are appreciated. For example, the closing flute duet in the 1st movement is played without vibrato, as are many of the other woodwind sections. This conveys a starkness and brutality that must match what Shostakovich lived though. The tempos are more variable and all in all it is a more soulful, more Russian sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars DSCH symphony No.10 Yah? Yah!
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2009
It's no secret to those in the know that Shostakovich used the letters DSCH as a monogram to represent his name in music Dmitri SCHostakovich. The 10th is an optimistic-tradegy. It is finally the end of Stalin and the rebirth of Shostakovich. Thus the final movement has the DSCH motif blaring everywhere. Where I disagree with my comrades is that this is more than just a DSCH symphony it is also one of his most German symphonies!

Who then would be more appropriate to conduct it than the legendary Herbert von Karajan leading no less then the Berlin Phiharmonic. Karajan does what he does as usual so well. Tracing the music lines which are so linear in the first movement and building uncluttered well played climaxes. If you've never heard this symphony before and turn up the volume for the soft beginning and keep it there you will be in for blast of volume that only an orchestra like the Berlin Philharmonic could project in all digital sound. The second movement is terrifying. Karajan is slow at 4'09" but do you realize that the fastest 10th is only about 9 seconds away? There is very little to be critical about this performance. I hold it as the standard by which all Shostakovich 10th's should be compared. The horn calls in the third movement are perfect and beautiful I might add. The semi-improvisitory theme and variation like finale which can be tricky is a success.

Even Mravinsky didn't get this symphony right when he conducted it. He would always speed up the "prelude" to the finale. To me Shostakovich was trying to give the audience a mental rest between the third and fourth movements. It would probably be impractical to have everyone stop for three minutes during a performance so I think Shostakovich composed this music. Most people ignore this about Mravinsky, but he takes this music and this rest period at double time.

If you happen to come across the 1966 version of Karajan's Shostakovich 10th that will do as well. They are practically identical twins although one is analog (1966) and one is digital (this version circa 1981).

Have no regrets as I have no caveats in a full 10/10 recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Fave.
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2015
Hands down ... no, really ... down ... all of you ... no, this is my favorite 10th and the only Shostakovich von Karajan recorded, that I'm aware of. This is the first recording of this piece which I bought and listened to ... i bought some others but didn't listen ... that's not true, but this is my first 10th and I got it back in about 1976 ... or '85 ... 1983, but the point is other recordings have since tended to get compared to Herbert's ... by me, although I like Jarvi's very much. Now I compare other recordings to his ... no, I don't, but I do find the recorded sound on Jarvi's to be very bright. By the way, I'm sorry I don't have a little umlaut to put over the "a" in Jarvi, but I'm all out.

Having said all this I have to tell ya' I was at Lincoln Center earlier tonight ... last night, and Alan Gilbert and the NY Phil gave a magnificently impassioned and profound performance of the 10th. I only hope they record it before he leaves. Well, I hope other things too, but It was truly glorious ... really. Thanks.

I understand the general consensus considers this performance of the 10th definitive, but there are several others in my collection that I find superior, with more weight, bite, and dark humor. But your mileage may vary.

Shostakovich would have been very pleased with this excellent recording of his Tenth Symphony by the Berlin Philharmonic, conducted by Herbert von Karajan. The conductor's strong vision is sounding very well in this golden mix, and even better than the original Deutsche Grammophon editon. The opening bars of the symphony foretell an exciting story and Berlin & Karajan won't let you down as a listener.

3.0 out of 5 stars Une oeuvre extraordinaire , mais un "remaster" qui n'apporte pas grand chose ...
Reviewed in France on November 9, 2017
Verified Purchase
On ne présente plus ce qui reste une des plus grandes partitions du XX° siècle . Une partition exceptionnelle , d'une beauté sidérante . Elle est basée sur la terminologie allemande du nom des notes transcrite en nom des notes latines , à travers les initiales du compositeur ( D.SCH pour Dimitri Schostakowitsch en allemand , transformées en ré , mi b , do , si pour les notes latines ) . Vous reconnaîtrez facilement ces 4 notes répétées avec insistance à travers les troisièmes et quatrièmes mouvement de cette symphonie . Elles concluent même l'oeuvre aux timbales 6 fois d'affilée de façon triomphale ( sorte de victoire "psychologique" du compositeur , soulagé d'apprendre le décès de Staline qui avait mis en garde le musicien par l'intermédiaire de ses sbires ) .
L'interprétation de Karajan est somptueuse , mais j'avoue ne pas avoir perçu de grandes différences entre la première édition et ce "Gold Karajan" . Le remastering n'apporte pas grand chose ...

Reviewed in Italy on May 20, 2016

Nonostante a detta di molti queste registrazioni, fatte negli ultimi anni di vita di Karajan, non siano il massimo artisticamente parlando io le adoro perché ritengo che oltre a far traspirare la sua forza d'animo dal punto di vista delle sonorità riprodotte siano perfetti. Ecco un difetto può essere che siano talmente perfette da sembrare finte e montate in maniera artificiale. Invece non dimentichiamoci che sono stati tra i primi cd ad essere registrati in DDD, cioè ogni singola fase dalla registrazione alla masterizzazione sono fatti digitalmente.
