Performance: Sonics (S/MC): / |
A very succesful recording of a great and complex work. Orchestra and chorus are first rate, the soloist is rather breathy and wobbly, although sings her part with fine sense of the poetry.
Once again, Zinman and his Tonnhalle Orchestra live up to expectations: a straightforward reading, magnificentlly played by the Orchestra, with careful attention to dinamic, contrasts and overall sound picture.
How it shows the long tenure of the conductor in Zurich and the painstaking work he has done with his orchestra (which is well documented in a particularly outstandin Beethoven Cycle).
The quality of sound is superb, which is quite a feat considering the number of forces involved.
