Unforgettable performance
gavin | Denver, CO United States | 12/15/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Admit it, you're looking at this because of Pierrot Lunaire, not the other works on this disk. Truth be told, the Boulez is a nice piece and the two Webern works are impeccable in conception and execution (and typically small!). The real treat here is a stunning vision of what may be the greatest 20th century vocal work. Erika Sziklay absolutely nails the feel of the madness, joy and fear in this piece. The chamber group is equal to her performance, illuminating the tricky counterpoint and voicings of the master contrapuntalist. I've had this disk for ten (?) years now and I've never heard a performance to match this. You needn't shop any further."
