La playlist de ce jour, \u00e9tal\u00e9e sur deux mois en deux jours (!!!), est consacr\u00e9e, comme son nom l’indique, \u00e0 une anthologie d\u2019oeuvres symphoniques de Jean Sibelius par le Hall\u00e9 Orchestra de Manchester<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, sous la direction de Sir John Barbirolli. Les enregistrements se sont d\u00e9roul\u00e9s en plusieurs sessions \u00e9tal\u00e9es sur cinq ans, entre 1966 et 1970. A cette \u00e9poque, Sibelius jouissait d\u2019une assez pi\u00e8tre r\u00e9putation en France, mais \u00e9tait d\u00e9j\u00e0 tr\u00e8s appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 dans les pays anglo-saxons, et Decca avait d\u00e9j\u00e0 enregistr\u00e9 deux int\u00e9grales –Collins et Maazel<\/em>-, tandis qu\u2019aux \u00c9tats-Unis, CBS avait publi\u00e9 l\u2019int\u00e9grale de Bernstein et qu\u2019Ormandy avait enregistr\u00e9 une assez large anthologie chez RCA. En Allemagne, de m\u00eame, Karajan contribuait \u00e9norm\u00e9ment \u00e0 la r\u00e9putation du compositeur. –Cliquer sur l\u2019image pour la voir en plus grand<\/em>-.<\/p>\n

Sir John Barbirolli<\/strong><\/span><\/a> –1899 – 1970<\/em>– commen\u00e7a tr\u00e8s t\u00f4t \u00e0 diriger les oeuvres de Sibelius et contribua \u00e0 le populariser aux \u00c9tats-Unis, o\u00f9 il succ\u00e9da \u00e0 Toscanini \u00e0 la t\u00eate de l\u2019orchestre philharmonique de New-York pour des \u00e9moluments presque 10 fois moindres ! Cette exp\u00e9rience am\u00e9ricaine ne fut pas vraiment fructueuse, et Barbirolli retourna en 1943 en Angleterre, o\u00f9 il redonna vie au Hall\u00e9 Orchestra de Manchester, qu\u2019il connaissait bien pour l\u2019avoir d\u00e9j\u00e0 dirig\u00e9 bien avant la guerre. C\u2019est avec cet orchestre qu\u2019il enregistra son anthologie Sibelius, qui connut un \u00e9norme succ\u00e8s en Angleterre, o\u00f9 elle continue \u00e0 jouir d\u2019une r\u00e9putation exceptionnelle, r\u00e9putation qui a m\u00eame franchi la Manche d\u00e9sormais.
\nEt, pourtant, ce qu\u2019on entend est, \u00e0 mes oreilles, loin d\u2019\u00eatre toujours exceptionnel !!! La premi\u00e8re symphonie est m\u00eame assez rat\u00e9e, englu\u00e9e dans des tempi lents, se r\u00e9v\u00e8le plut\u00f4t amorphe, sans \u00e9nergie, et, de surcro\u00eet, l\u2019orchestre n\u2019est pas tr\u00e8s beau et manque cruellement de pr\u00e9cision et de coh\u00e9sion : on a fait beaucoup mieux dans cette oeuvre, avant lui et apr\u00e8s lui ! La deuxi\u00e8me symphonie est nettement plus r\u00e9ussie, sans toutefois atteindre, \u00e0 mes oreilles au moins, les plus hauts sommets, du fait d\u2019un orchestre qui ne peut se comparer aux meilleurs. D’une mani\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, on sent le chef amoureux de cette musique mais assez enclin en r\u00e9alit\u00e9 \u00e0 laisser son orchestre jouer un peu en roue libre : comme Sibelius, Barbirolli \u00e9tait un adepte de la dive bouteille…
\nEn revanche, les petites pi\u00e8ces symphoniques sont tr\u00e8s r\u00e9ussies, et l\u2019on y ressent toute l\u2019affection que le chef porte \u00e0 ces oeuvres et au compositeur.<\/p>\n

Un premier bilant mitig\u00e9, donc, et pas toujours \u00e0 la hauteur de la r\u00e9putation des ces disques !<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
