2.0 out of 5 stars Rigid, Wooden Performance, August 25, 2000

By

This review is from: Crucifixion (Audio CD)

For a recording made in 1929, the sound on the first seven parts of The Crucifixion (the balance of the recording was made in the early 30's) is remarkably good, and with noted Metropolitan Opera baritone, Lawrence Tibbett, as soloist, I looked forward to a very interesting recording. However, the performance seemed very rigid, very wooden, very stilted. It lacked the lyrical, ethereal quality, which I enjoy and have come to expect in church compositions. This made it difficult to listen to this CD and virtually impossible to enjoy it.
