3.0 out of 5 stars An Opportunity For A Telemann Rarity, March 23, 2006

By

This review is from: St Matthew Passion (Audio CD)

The impression left by this performance is one of being at times a little lacklustre. The soloists and choir are capable but not top drawer, while the period orchestra is pretty good though slightly lacking in clarity thanks to the reverberant accoustic.

Telemann still manages to shine through which makes one wish the piece had received a more compelling rendering. That said, I am certainly grateful for the opportunity to know this rarity. Considering he created over 40 passion settings it is remarkable that there is no sense of the routine in this music.
