CD Reviews

A Decent Recording

B. R. Merrick | 03/16/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Yes, it is true that the technical aspects of the recording are lacking, but I find that all I have to do is turn up the volume to produce a somewhat better sound. Furthermore, the New Zealand Symphony deserves credit in their performance of this demanding, virtuosic orchestral writing. This is a decent CD, not the best perhaps, but there is fire and vitality that I believe is sufficient.

So if you're a perfectionist, you may want to continue searching. If not, I think you'll be satisfied with this one, especially with the ending of Symphony No. 2. (Although, the track of the final movement finishes right when the reverberation has died down, meaning that if you are playing this track on random shuffle on iTunes or your iPod, the next piece will start right away. You've been warned.)"
