This review is from: Gladness of Heart (Audio CD)
I own this recording and have never noticed any such distraction as mentioned in the previous review.
The performance of the Menotti Violin Concerto by Jose Cueto is quite brilliant, with lyrical phrasing and extraordinarily rich tone. This is a five star performance. The choral selections are not so hot. Frankly, I don't understand the selection of these works in putting together an 'album.' The relationship is lost on me.

Painful of Heart,

This review is from: Gladness of Heart (Audio CD)
I have very eclectic tastes, am easy to please and I thought I would never trash an album, but AVOID THIS CD AT ALL COSTS!!! The problem is with the Menotti "Violin Concerto". Throughout the performance one can hear someone grunting and moaning in the background. It could be the soloist. Maybe the conductor. It is a horrible distraction. The other two works on the CD are fine: Randall Thompson the "Peaceable Kingdom" and David Diamond "Rounds for String Orchestra". However all these works are available on other CDs. For example, there is a nice recording of the "Rounds" on the Delos Label Gerard Schwarz and the Seattle Symphony
