CD Reviews

Stellar septet, rest not so good
R. Rockwell | Brooklyn, NY USA | 07/31/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)

"These discs were recommended in the New NPR Encyclopedia. Unfortunately I had just listed to all of the Naxos Berwald chamber music which I reviewed and found to be some of the best Cds released by Naxos. With that in mind I could never recommend listening to anything on these disc with the exception of the quartet for piano and wind and the septet which are the only things not covered in Naxos and which are anemic in comparison. The Grand Septet is scored for the some forces as Beethoven's, strings,,clarinet, horn, bassoon. and may be one of Berwald's most beautiful chamber pieces with a song like first section and a haunting, extended slow section.



So whether or not you but this set should depend on your wanting to own the septet.



Please excuse typos I have a neurologic disease.
