CD Reviews

Powerful Lyrical Symphony

Gregory M. Zinkl | Chicago, IL | 10/25/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Gielen is always an interesting conductor. In many ways, I find his work much more stimulating than the bigger names that are taking the helm of the major US ensembles.Such is the case here: Zemlinsky's score is unabashedly bombastically romantic. Gielen has taken his very good SWF orchestra to new heights in this performance: the lushness and beauty of the playing leaves no room for apologies and should cause the Big Guys to take note. The soloists are excellent, as is the choir. But the interpretation is one to remember. In fact, that's what I remember the most, not Zemlisnky's music! If it's been awhile since you were excited about a recorded performance, this one could do the trick. And you'll laugh maniacally after realizing how little you spent to acquire the recording!"

Buy this CD. Now. What are you waiting for?

Dr. Fartmeister | Vancouver BC | 11/12/2001

"To be perfectly honest, I bought this CD for the Berg pieces on the disc. In fact, at the time of purchase, I had never heard any of Zemlinsky's music before. After listening to the disc, however, I have decided that Alexander Zemlinsky is all too ignored on today's concert music scene. THis is an excellent performance by the SWF Orchestra and the baritone James Johnson. Mr. Johnson is definitely right on target in this performance, although the soprano leaves a small bit to be desired in the Symphony, but she more than makes up for her deficiencies in the Berg orchestral song cycle also included on the disc. So buy this CD. The price is mind-numbingly low, so what do you really have to lose anyway? Honestly, I would happily pay four times that amount for this CD."
