Conductors are always highly tempted to present Beethoven's Eroica as a heroic epic brimming over with a magnificent, powerful sound. It is all the more surprising, therefore, to discover that Hermann Scherchen does not succumb to this temptation but lends this epoch-making work glowing brilliance and inspiring rhythm. His analytical insight delves deep into the score and illuminates even the minutest detail, and this is not something he achieves by decreasing the tempo < quite to the contrary. The stormy outer movements are taken to the very limits of what is technically possible but they certainly never seem rushed. Scherchen's ideal, this uncompromising laying-bare of the musical structure, is also applied to the second and third movements. Nothing is obscured or muffled: the funeral march proceeds on its way, rich, darkly glowing and sonorous; the horn calls and the circling, flurrying strings in the Scherzo find their way directly to the listener. The tutti is taut, sinewy and quite free of all romanticizing pomp. Thanks to the finely balanced recording technique, this disc offers true "symphonic" listening pleasure oupled with a chamber-music-like transparency.
