Synopsis

Amazon.com

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is the star of this gloriously played and recorded disc. It would be nice to say that Daniel Barenboim has something earth-shattering to say in this music (he probably thinks so), but the truth is that this orchestra can play this music without an conductor, and that's what they seem to be doing. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. It's a fine performance; I just think the players deserve more credit than the guy on the podium. --David Hurwitz

CD Reviews

Good performance, but noisy

10/25/1998

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Tchaikolvsky 5th is performed gracefully and at a nice pace, however there is way too much background noise, with people coughing and shuffling and moving around. However, the performance of the piece makes it almost worth it putting up with the noise factor."

Nice!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Barenboim isn't a great conductor, since he sometimes makes even the Chicago Symphony play in a sloppy manner, but the playing on this live recording is great! There are surprisingly few flaws, and there's a sense of excitement that comes from the energetic playing and Barenboim's nicely thought out phrasing and tempi. The recorded sound itself is clear and vibrant. The 1812 on this CD is very good as well, though it's not quite as good as Fritz Reiner's earlier take, also with the CSO."
