This review is from: Myra Hess: Live Recordings From University of Illinois, Volume 2 (Audio CD)

Hess is meticulous and delicate. But not the orchestra which is rather heavy on the strings. The sound needs some adjusting to. Heard Anda with Karajan in a recently released DG live recording from the Salzburg Festival. It`s much better with Anda bettering his own famous Elvira Madigan version. Still the Hess recording has its own merits and deserves a good hearing.
