BR Klassik
Holst: The Planets (BR Klassik)
A solid, “safe” account, hobbled by a dull, listless opening movement [RMo]
The Wild Sound of the 20s – 1923 (BR Klassik)
A good example of 1920s music in outstanding performances, let down by lack of texts [LW]
Poulenc: Stabat Mater (BR Klassik)
An unusual programme, attractive, but somewhat generic performances [PBW]
Caplet: Le Miroir de Jésus (BR Klassik)
The refinement and lucid beauty of Caplet heard in a loving performance [JW]
Der wilde Sound der 20er – 1923 (BR Klassik)
Four works reflect the time between modernity and tradition, revolution and republic, jazz and dance music [JF]
Mozart: Coronation Mass (BR Klassik)
Refined, exciting, and extraordinarily well-sung period-instrument performances of selected Latin choral works by Mozart [DF]
Beethoven: Egmont (BR Klassik)
A decent performance but no text for the narration is a hindrance [SB]
Mahler: Symphonies 1-9 (BR Klassik)
Clarity, flexibility, detail and beautiful playing here but inconsistent as a set; some symphonies are superlative, others lack excitement [RMo]
Silvestrov: Requiem (BR Klassik)
A moving personal dedication to his wife by Ukraine’s greatest living composer [GT]
