4.0 out of 5 stars On the works of John Corigliano, February 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: John Corigliano: Creations And Other Works (Audio CD)

This is a wonderful recording. It is a good introduction to the work of a marvelous American composer. The recording is very well done. The works are expertly played under the direction of Rudolf Werthen.

People who cannot be moved in some small way by the Elegy are probably just about capable of anything.

2.0 out of 5 stars Boring, June 30, 2010

This review is from: John Corigliano: Creations And Other Works (Audio CD)

This is avery tedious CD. Not just the rather uninteresting music, but most especially the boring way in which McKellen reads the wonderful Creation text. Give me Haydn's Creation any day!!
