Gramophone
[8/1998]:
Quote:Few concertos register a higher ‘feel-good’ factor than Beethoven’s Triple,
and I cannot think of many that have been luckier on disc. The Chung Trio opt for a keen-eared, sportive approach that
contrasts with the more individualistic and marginally more refined Zukerman/Kirshbaum/Browning production that I
reviewed in June. Here, one encounters chamber music on a large scale, with the trio and orchestra playing more or less
on equal terms (note how cellos and basses ‘kick in’ at 5'27'' into the first movement) and a host of
nicely observed lyrical touches (for example, Myung-Wha Chung’s cello at 8'08''). A telling point of contrast
occurs 4'08'' into the brief Largo (track 2), one of the few instances of tonal darkening where Chung effects a less
dramatic diminuendo among the lower strings than does Eschenbach on RCA (3'59'' on track 5 of RCA’s CD), but that
somehow fits the context of his lighter-textured performance. The closing Rondo alla Polacca is swifter than
Eschenbach’s by a minute, and yet both performances manage to convey a sense of exuberant release. DG’s
Watford Colosseum recording is marginally warmer and less ‘open’ than RCA’s from Abbey Road No. 1
(they were recorded within a month of each other during the spring of 1996), but both are excellent.
Couplings
will, as ever, prove crucial. Zukerman et al give us a loving account of Brahms’s Double Concerto, whereas the
Chungs offer less generous – and musically less substantial – shorter works by Beethoven. Having said
that, Kyung-Wha Chung’s violin playing commands a far wider expressive range nowadays than it did during the
1970s and 1980s. Her accounts of the two Romances are as enjoyable as any from the digital era and the little Romance
cantabile for piano, flute and bassoon that ends the programme – a five-minute fragment from the 1780s –
makes for a pleasant and unexpected encore. A fine Triple, then, and thoroughly recommendable if the couplings
appeal.

BEETHOVEN: TRIPLE CONCERTO • 3 ROMANCES
Quote:The 19th-century image of Ludwig van Beet- hoven
as a scowling, irascible super-hero has warped our idea of him irrevocably. It is still customary to regard his music as
lacking in charm or lyricism - let alone a sense of humour - and to look down on the finales of the Violin Concerto and
the Archduke Trio, as if they are not worthy of what goes before. And yet the proof that Beethoven did have his
charming, lighter side is here, in this programme of some of his most carefree music.
The concerto for more than
one instrument already had a tradition stretching back to the Baroque era when he contemplated writing his Triple
Concerto in 1803. In the Classical era this type of work acquired symphonic proportions and Mozart was its greatest
exponent, writing one Sinfonia Concertante for four wind soloists and another - among his most perfect creations - for
violin and viola. Working with just two instruments, both Bach in his various double concertos and Mozart in his
Sinfonia Concertante, K.364, created beautifully balanced forms. Bach even wrote successfully for three soloists;
Mozart, on the other hand, faltered after making a start on two further sinfonie concertanti, one of which was for
string trio and orchestra. The danger with three soloists was that the concerto would become a boring procession, with
each soloist taking it in turn to repeat the same material.
But one of the attributes that makes a composer great
is the ability to solve problems which would defeat lesser mortals. The title Beethoven gave his op. 56 - Grand Concerto
Concertant pour Pianoforte, Violon et Violoncelle - indicated that he was thinking along Mozartian lines; and one of his
incidental problems may actually have helped him to add variety to the texture. He was writing the piano part for his
pupil and patron, the Archduke Rudolph, whose capabilities at the keyboard were modest - although he was an excellent
musician. Beethoven therefore had to write a piano line that was not too difficult to play, but sounded more imposing
than it actually was. His other two soloists, the Bohemian cellist Anton Kraft (1752-1820) and the Berlin-born violinist
Carl August Seidler (1778-1840), were exceptional virtuosi; indeed Kraft was the best cellist of his day, a friend of
both Haydn and Beethoven, and a composer to boot. Beethoven greatly admired his playing and this work reflects that
admiration.
Beethoven used the soloists' varying talents as a means of applying structure to the concerto. The
cellist constantly takes charge and sets the tone for the discourse; and at the start of the Largo he has the chance to
create a moment of real stillness at the heart of this otherwise vigorous work. The violinist has a slightly lesser
role, and his part reflects Seidler's lyrical gifts. The scoring is often of a chamber-like transparency, and the full
orchestra is rarely used. Cadenzas are avoided, as any display of overt virtuosity would be out of place in what is, to
a large extent, a conversation among three friends who also interact in varying and often beautiful ways with the
orchestra. The first movement is in sonata form, the second emphasizes the cantabile aspect of the two stringed
instruments and the finale - which, as was becoming customary with Beethoven, follows without a break - is a delightful
polonaise which raises its tempo only at the end, in an exciting coda.
Dedicated to Beethoven's patron Prince
Lobkowitz, the Triple Concerto was not publicly performed until 1808, four years after it was completed. But two
performances were given earlier by Seidler and Kraft in Viennese houses - the first with the Archduke at the piano and
the second with Maria Bigot. There were also private performances in Leipzig, early in 1808, by Willer (piano), Mattei
(violin) and Dotzauer (cello). The premiere, with all three intended soloists at the Augarten in Vienna in May 1808, was
not enthusiastically received; and the work's popularity dates from the first half of this century, when the violinist
Adolf Busch performed it all over Europe. An unfortunate tradition has since grown up of treating the Triple Concerto in
a rather portentous way. But when Beethoven's instructions are obeyed - for instance, he wants the soloists to play
sotto voce at the start of the finale - the work is full of light and shade and relaxed lyricism.
No one is quite
sure why, or even when, Beethoven wrote his two Romances for violin and orchestra. The F major, though it has the higher
opus number, apparently dates from before 1800, while the G major was probably composed between 1800 and 1802. Scholars
conjecture that Beethoven, who had a good basic knowledge of violin technique but was only a fair fiddler himself, may
have found it easier to write slow solo music for the instrument at first. He left a youthful C major violin concerto
unfinished and so it is possible that the Romances were trial runs for a slow movement, and that they were sketched in
the early 1790s. At any rate, Beethoven thought well enough of them to complete and publish them, in 1803 and 1805
respectively. Both works display a deceptive simplicity worthy of a great composer, the F major having a more florid
solo line than the G major. Many notable violinists have seized on the Romances eagerly, as melodic gems to fill out
concert programmes and show off a fine legato line.
By contrast the Romance in E minor for piano, flute, bassoon
and orchestra is rarely heard. This early fragment, composed in Bonn in the 1780s but not published until 1952, was also
probably intended as the slow movement for a larger work. Like all chips from a master's workbench, it deserves to be
aired occasionally, especially as it shows the young Beethoven anxious to please rather than browbeat his audience.
