Klaus TennstedtAbout
Reactions to Tennstedt’s interpretation of the Schubert C major Symphony were uneven. His dynamic choice of tempo no doubt troubled some listeners; in the Andantes, both in the introduction to the first movement and in the second movement, most commonly heard at a more measured and unhurried pace, Tennstedt opted for faster, bolder tempi. Wolfgang Schultze (Berliner Morgenpost) wrote that the conductor had resorted to "a fairly brisk movement with ample momentum and powerful élan". But the result was "a somewhat agitated Schubert, notably coarse-grained, with exaggerated accentuation and too little romantic colouring". According to Sybill Mahlke in the Tagesspiegel Tennstedt seemed unwilling to allow the score to "sing for itself", wanting everywhere to interpret, to read too much into every bar. "He works feverishly for every possible effect, to bring out every inner part, without allowing long phrases to breathe adequately in the slow introduction or in the Andante’s song-like line in the oboe and clarinet and second violins. In the third movement the return of the trio was strangely low-key; the Schubert that emerged was mannered and inauthentic, neglectful of innate features and spiritual qualities in the score." But reactions are hard to understand when we now listen to this recording in all its energy, dramatic intelligence and melodic fervour.
