5.0 out of 5 stars
Way beyond five stars...., March 17, 2000
This review is from: Korngold: Piano Quintet; Suite (Audio CD)
This is an amazing performance of a work that is only just being rediscovered and fully appreciated by an ever growing assemblage of Korngold aficionados. I think Korngold's time has finally come and I think this utterly breathtaking performance is going to help skyrocket the memory of this composer's extaordinary music (OUTSIDE of Hollywood!). It is a shame that Korngold didn't live long enough to see the resurgence of his music in something other than a film score. I cannot recommend highly enough this exquisite performance and the consummate artistry of the musicians on this gorgeous recording. I wish there were enough superlatives to describe the heartbreaking beauty of their performance. The passion literally oozes out of this recording - it is as wonderful as anything I've heard in a long time. If you are not moved beyond control by this piece and particularly this performance, perhaps you should consider having your pulse taken...... Pity that five stars is the highest rating that we can give this impassioned performance. Bravo!
