Kubelik Documents for Posterity
A great recompilation of many of RK's gratest recorded literature from DG. The Schumann is the weakest of the group, bettered on CBS-Sony by some degree, but not a lot. The beethoven is innovative, using 9 different orchestras, recorded between 1973-1975, in excellent sound. Particularly strong are #4 with Israel and #8 with Members of the Cleveland Orchestra, Cleveland's first DG recording by decades. The Mahler is a staple of the composer's recorded literature. The Dvorak is in my opinion grander than Rowicki or Kertesz, but doesn't really better them. The 6th comes across as if it were Brahms, it is so gigantically conceived. The 7th is slightly thin-sounding and minimally anemic. #8 started the Kubelik Dvorak Cycle in 1966, and it is still a superb example of the BPO at its best. The 9th is patrician, massive but lithe. Great for people who don't have these recordings on CD.

Excellent Schumann, Dvorak and Mahler, lesser Beethoven
Beethoven. Therefore five stars each for the symphonies of Schumann and Dvorak, four stars for Mahler, andthree for the LVBs-regrettable because Kubelik recorded some better Beethoven elsewhere: #s2 and 6 with Audite, 4 with Audite and especially Meteor. I still find #s 3,5,7 and 9deficient in brio and intensity. Best in this set are his #1 with the London PO #2 with the RCOA (though the Van Beinum RCOA is even better I think), #4 with the Israel PO (better than his Audite version but not his scarce Meteor)_. I do prefer the Audite #6 tohis Orchestre de Paris DG version. Perhaps the idea of different orchestras for each symphony backfired.Kubelik recorded two Schumann Cycles, one with the Berlin PO/DG and the other withhis Bavarian RSO/Sony. Both are excellent especially in #s 1,3 and 4. However, his BPO#2 is a desert isle version, brimming with fervor and poetry-the extra mile c.f. the fineBRSO version. It holds a place among his greatest discs ever and I haven't heard a better oneThe Dvorak cycle misses a Czech Orchestra, but Kubelik also carries Bohemia with him(// the Hell carrying Satan in Paradise Lost). RK also redeems much of #s 1-5 andholds his own in the final four. No one conductor dominates a Dvorak set ( my favoritesare Talich, Ancerl in #s 6,8,and9, Szell in #s 7-9, Sejna in #s 5-7. Dohnanyi/Clevelandand Vaclav NeumannThe Kubelik Mahler cycle was one on the first. He also recorded a second cycle liveon Audite, most of which I haven't heard. It is also home turf, characterized bylighter textures and speedier tempi than the norm. The slow, tragic music is conductedconvincingly, e.g in #s 2,3, 6 and 9. #10 is present only in its fragmented state, The three middle movements (nachtmusik ) of #7are quite attractive, although I cannot fathom the outer movements. Elsie Morisonis not among the best soloists in #4 c.f. Ameling,Popp, Donath and Della Casa, but the remainderis superb. I admit to being estranged partly from #s 5 and more from 8 (especially the first movement. But on the whole this Mahler set is quite competitive

これこそ指揮者の表現する音楽だと思います。
学生時代に9オーケストラでベートーヴェンの交響曲全集を見てこれを聴きたいなあと思いつつ、社会人になってそのCDを購入しました。さほど交響曲に興味はなかったのですが、まあ定番を知らないとという安易な気持ちで購入しましたね。以来、数あるベートーヴェンを聞いても、クーベリックに戻るんですよね。 今回、久しぶりに彼の全集が安価に出ているので購入。まあ、マーラーはボチボチ聴いていたので、どんなものかと聴いてみたら、バーンスタインもアバドも一気に地の底に落ちるくらいの(失礼)名演に、目からウロコが落ちて行きました。 ドボルザークなんて聴いたことは新世界のみでしたが、作曲者が描いた以上の演奏に心が踊らされます。残念ながら、商業主義に乗せられ、グラムフォンの推すカラヤン、ベームの影に隠された名手を、今になって聴き惚れているなんて、随分遠回りさせられたなと思います。 評論家の出谷 啓氏がクーベリックの演奏するベートーヴェンを頑なに推していた記憶が蘇りました。安価に再販してくれればいいんですけどねえ。

excellent coffret!
Je possédais déjà le coffret des symphonies de Dvorak que je trouvais déjà très bien et trois symphonies de Beethoven. Sur le fond, rien à redire, les interprétations sont magistrales. Kubelik est très réputé pour son cycle de Mahler et je dois dire que c'est amplement mérité. Pour Dvorak, on a aussi un beau cycle mais je regrette juste que DG n'en ait pas profité pour faire le travail de remasterisation qu'ils avaient fait avec la 8ème et la 9ème que l'on peut se procurer sur un seul cd étiqueté "dg originals". En bref, si vous avez déjà le coffret, il est inutile d'investir si vous espérez avoir un plus du côté de la technique. Le cycle de Beethoven est aussi excellent et trop méconnu à mon sens, car là encore, on a de superbes interprétations. Pour les symphonies de Schumann, on a affaire au premier cycle, l'autre étant édité chez sony. Ce cycle (DG) ne souffre pas du tout de la comparaison avec le cycle de chez sony pourtant enregistré une dizaine d'années plus tard. Côté forme, on a affaire à un coffret compacte qui s'ouvre par le haut. Côté cds, ce sont de fines pochettes cartonnées qui ne dispose pas d'un code couleur précis comme on peut en voir souvent; il faut donc sortir les pochettes pour savoir à quel compositeur appartient tel ou tel cd. Pour le renfort, il y a juste un carré blanc en mousse un peu cheap mais qui joue son rôle. Il faut ajouter un livret qui indique les plages des cds, quelques pages qui retrace brièvement la vie de Kubelik et pour finir, les paroles des symphonies de Mahler pour celles qui en ont bien sûr. La traduction est en anglais uniquement. Voilà donc un bon coffret à un prix très avantageux pour ceux qui ne possèdent pas les coffrets séparés.

superbe coffret
4 integrales symphoniques completes [Beethoven, Schumann, Dvorak & Malher] dans des interpretations formidables.La qualité technique est excellente. Tout le coffret est en stéreo [enregistrements de 1963 à 1976].La qualité artistique est magnifique. On peut citer la Symphonie du Nouveau Monde ou encore la Symphonie Pastorale dans les réusssites de Rafael Kubelik.

Un grande Mahler
Ho acquistato il cofanetto per l'integrale di Beethoven. Sicuramente un buon Beethoven. Le sinfonie di Schumann le avevo già, buone anche se non non le mie preferite. Mahler una sorpresa. Un' ottima e felice sorpresa. Il Dvorak di Kubelik lo conoscevo già ed anche questo uno dei migliori. In definitiva un ottimo cofanetto del grande Kubelik.
