Il m’est arrivé d’être dur pour les symphonistes post-romantiques, surtout les français (Magnard, Ropartz…). Là, il y a les mêmes ingrédients (science de l’écriture et de l’orchestration, thèmes fuyants et peu mémorisables, rythme)… et pourtant « ça marche », et dès la première écoute. Comment expliquer cela ? Déjà, ces « symphonies » sont très courtes (une vingtaine de minutes) : il dit ce qu’il a à dire, sans délayer. Du coup, les 4 mouvements, ramassés, paraissent légers et non pesants, même quand ils sont graves. Ensuite, l’écriture musicale elle-même est légère, fluide.
En complément à ces 2 « symphonies », un vrai petit bijou : la sinfonia del mare en un seul mouvement andante, qui mérite à elle seule l’acquisition de ce modeste (en prix) CD.
Merci donc à ce grand chef français (malgré son nom portugais), qui, comme beaucoup, a fait l’essentiel de sa carrière à l’étranger, et à « son » orchestre moscovite, de nous faire découvrir ce compositeur italien. Toute cette série, chez Naxos, dirigée habituellement par Francesco La Vecchia, est intéressante.
Enregistrement de studio de 1993, très correct.

Why do I keep doing it? This is the third volume of Malipiero Symphonies that I've purchased in this series and I really should have taken its failings more seriously.
Malipiero is an interesting composer when it comes to symphonies because he rejected "Germanic" formal principles, replacing them with an almost improvisatory motivic development. If you were an optimist you might hope that that would make him an Italian Sibelius in terms of thematic development but in truth the results are rather uneven and can sound rambling and unfocussed at worst.
All the more frustrating then that this volume includes the most approachable and cogent of all the symphonies that I've heard from him. The Third carries the echo at least of bells ringing through Venice as the Nazis invaded Italy. It's a short and very effective war symphony. It is very much the highlight of the disc.
The Fourth is also quite a dark and troubled work whilst the early "Sinfonia Del Mare" sounds pleasantly impressionistic but doesn't compare too favorably with the very crowded competition - and not just from Debussy: classical music has been very kind to the sea over the last hundred years or more.
The frustrations here are the same as the other volumes: the sound recording is very poor and the orchestra, to put it diplomatically, sound a little under rehearsed. The sound is so congested that if played over headphones sounds like the jack hasn't been correctly inserted into the amplifier as the sound is thin, cloudy and very congested. Malipiero's music cries out for space to breath and here it doesn't get it. I'm happy to have this recording for the Third Symphony alone and, given Malipiero's obscurity; I'll have a very long wait for an alternative series combining good sound engineering and fine playing. I suppose we should be grateful but this feels like a real bargain bucket enterprise: What a pity.

Tough but rewarding music
2010年3月7日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
The music of Gianfrancesco Malipiero has received a fair amount of recordings, but Malipiero was enormously prolific, and the record industry has barely scratched the surface of his output, in particular with respect to his dramatic works. Fortunately, Marco Polo made an important contribution to our view of the composer by recording his symphonies, which are now being reissued by Naxos, and luckily, the performances are generally pretty good. Of course, with an oeuvre as large as Malipiero's the quality of the music is inevitably going to be variable, and the three works here aren't consistently first rate, but the music is never less than good. Stylistically, Malipiero was heavily influenced by his study of the music of Monteverdi and Frescobaldi, and his style stands in stark contrast to the late-romanticism and verismo styles that immediately preceded him, mixing neo-baroque and neo-classical elements with influences from the music of Debussy and his contemporary Casella. Still, the impression is of a markedly original, if not stylistically very consistent voice.
The Sinfonia del mare is an early work (1906), and is more of a symphonic poem than a symphony. The language is surprisingly impressionistic, appealingly atmospheric but in the end rather inconsequential and not particularly memorable. The third symphony dates from 1944-45, and is an anguished work written in response to the German invasion of Italy and inspired by the doom-laden tolling bells of the St. Mark's Cathedral. The dark tone of the work never lets much light through, especially not in the highlight of the work, the spiteful scherzo - even if there are touches of serene beauty and the work ends on what must be said to be an optimistic note. Overall, the work is most notable for its stirring, strange and disconcerting textures and sonorities, arranged in an interestingly effective formal structure. It is not an easy work, but one that rewards concentration and repeated listening, and I'd judge it to be the strongest work on the disc.
The fourth symphony opens with an energetic but somewhat rough movement - the scoring is again striking, but I am not completely convinced that Malipiero quite achieves the effects I can imagine he set out to achieve. The lamenting slow movement is more convincing; tough and gritty but rewarding and relieved by a rather inconsequential scherzo and ending in a slightly aimless but effectively chilly set of variations (the apparent aimlessness might have been intentional, one suspects).
Overall, these are rewarding, personal and original works, even though they don't give up their goods very easily. The Moscow Symphony Orchestra are pretty effective advocates of the music, but lacks a little bit in tonal finesse and sheen, although Almeida leads them with an unerring sense of vision and understanding. The sound is a little distant and dry, but not really objectionable; recommended.
