CD Reviews

Nevsky

afroassassin@yahoo.com | Cleveland, OH | 03/06/1999

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This Alexander Nevsky is different then many others because it has the choir singing in English, as opposed to the original Russian. The Latin sections are still kept in latin, however. The choir is outstanding. For one looking for excellent low-brass playing, few recordings can match this one made at the height of the CSO's glory under Reiner. There are a few minor problems in this recording(intonation, ensemble togetherness) that would probably not show up on a modern digital recording, but these are easily overlooked, as this is an amazing recording nonetheless. The mezzo soloist is absolutely enchanting. This recording is highly recommended!"

You are there!

Ron Erdody | Douglasville, GA USA | 01/16/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"First off, the sonics on this recording are astounding. If you are listening to the performance on a good stereo or surround sound system, you are in for an exceptional treat. The Chicago/Reiner sound is as fresh as it was in 1959 when the recording was made. Did you get that? This recording was made in 1959! Oh, what wonders modern technology has wrought.Sit down and listen, and you are there! Wonderful stuff!"

Overwhelming, but English is a distraction

Conrad H. Weisert | Chicago, Illinois USA | 03/09/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It's hard to imagine a more stirring performance with respect to conductor, orchestra, and chorus. A minor distraction is that the text is sung in English translation, revealing to those who listen closely the inanity of some of the content."
