The performance of Leonore Overture No. 3 tells you what to expect: the wonderfully flowing introduction, organically related to the tempo of the ensuing allegro, establishes a chamber-music-like balance between strings and winds. Brass and timpani cut through clearly, but never forcefully. The main body of the movement is fleet and graceful, yet also lacking in rhetorical emphasis and the kind of grandeur that many listeners prefer. David Zinman clearly takes his cues from the period-instrument crowd, but he also takes advantage of modern timbral smoothness to achieve singularly beautiful results. While you may not like the comparative dearth of weight, there’s no question that the orchestra fully realizes his approach, and it is excellently recorded to boot.
It goes almost without saying that the lighter works, such as Leonore No. 1, Prometheus, King Stephan, and The Ruins of Athens respond particularly well, but there are surprises too. The Fidelio Overture, for example, is both eruptive and powerful. So is this swift rendition of Coriolan (which almost always sounds better the faster it goes), and Zinman delivers a terrifically buoyant and joyous Consecration of the House. Egmont and the two big Leonore overtures (that is, Nos. 2 and 3) could pack a bigger punch, but heard in context what Zinman does with them makes perfect sense. Indeed, these two discs, totaling about 88 minutes of music, work very well as a coherent program. The bottom line: this is Beethoven easy on the ear, but never dull. It won’t rock your world, but it will keep you consistently entertained, and that’s no small achievement in itself.–David Hurwitz
