Finally reissued as a boxed set, albeit stripped of the
shorter orchestral works that came attached to a couple of the
symphonies, Otmar Suitner's Dvorák unquestionably ranks with the very
best, right up there with Kertesz, Kubelik, and Rowicki. He secures
absolutely gorgeous playing from the Staatskapelle Berlin, with
glowing string textures and a truly Czech character from the
woodwinds, and all of the performances are beautifully recorded, save
for an annoying creaking chair in the scherzo of the Fourth
Symphony. There isn't a weak link here, though like most conductors,
Suitner makes some cuts in the First Symphony. Highlights include a
stunning third movement of the Second Symphony, a glorious funeral
march from the Third, a rousing finale of the Fifth, a simply
gorgeous account of the Sixth from first note to last, a fiery and
passionate Seventh, and a final pair full of individual touches (in the
Eighth especially) that you won't find anywhere else. Make no mistake,
this set represents a major achievement by a seriously underrated
conductor--not a showman, perhaps, but a fine musician with good
ideas and the means to realize them. Don't miss it this time around. -David

Recorded by VEB Deutsche
Schallplatten in East Germany between 1979 and 1983, and only fitfully
available in the U.S., Austrian conductor Otmar Suitner's Dvorak
cycle would deserve a hearing even at full price. Reissued in a specially-priced
box, however, it is an irresistible opportunity to hear deeply felt,
virtuosic and often illuminating performances whose main competition
comes from much more expensive and only marginally superior sets by
Witold Rowicki and Istvan Kertesz.
Born in
1922, Suitner was a pupil of Clemens Krauss at the Mozarteum in Salzburg,
and began his career during WW II. He eventually became music director
of the Dresden State Opera and Staatskapelle in 1960, and enjoyed a
successful touring career. He was particularly popular in Japan where
his Dvorak set, luxuriously packaged, became a best seller.
Hisconducting
is elegant and gently lyrical, with long-limbed phrasing and understated
rhetoric. As most Dvorak performances are, his are lacking a bit in
what I always imagine to be Czech "personality," but then Dvorak was a
devoted disciple of Brahms, and anyway there are very few performances,
even by the great Czech conductors like Talich and Ancerl which I
find to be recognizably idiomatic in a Czech way. The Staatskapelle,
which bills itself as "Berlin's oldest orchestra" (it dates its
founding in 1570!), is superb, with wonderful light and fluent
woodwinds and silky strings.
The warm and powerful sound lacks
the kind of detail we have come think of as audiophile, but is totally
suited to Suitner's music making. Dirk Stöve's liner notes are brief
but enthusiastic. - Laurence Vittes
