5.0 out of 5 stars Hooray for balance!, August 27, 2005

By

This review is from: Schoenberg - Pierrot lunaire · Erwartung / Castellini · Marc · Sinopoli (Audio CD)

This is one of an extremely small number of solo recordings in which those involved realised that, while the solo is most important, it is not the only thing going on.

By that, I mean that you can hear everything the accompaniment does while still being able to hear the vocalists well. That in itself should be sufficient reason to buy this album; you'll hear everything that Schönberg wrote.

(Now, if only more acoustic engineers would do this when recording operas and concerti, realizing that if, say, Wagner had not wanted me to be able to hear the bassoons and clarinets underneath the thunderously loudly microphoned vocalists, he would not have written for them.)

5.0 out of 5 stars It is too bad that this recording is out of stock, December 5, 2004

This review is from: Schoenberg - Pierrot lunaire · Erwartung / Castellini · Marc · Sinopoli (Audio CD)

It's too bad that this item is out of stock. It is simply the very best performance of Pierrot Lunaire available. Why? Because Sinopoli best handles the lower register notes; something often overlooked by students and conductors worried more about the upper register. One sees that ample,detailed attention is almost always give to both the small orchestra, the conductor and the upper register notes. But the knowledgealbe listener, given a head to head listening, would choose this recording.

Alessandra Marc gives a definitive and breath-taking performance. This is the very best recording of Erwartung available.
