Free Music Review: An Absolutely Superlative Bit of Work
Hit: 5 Stars
If a single SACD disk could justify the entire expense of a high end playback system, this BIS offering is it. If a single night at an orchestra could justify the cost of air fare to a cold and distant city, the Minnesota Orchestra under Osmo Vanska...performing Beethoven's 9th in their current world class state...would be the one. This is not to say that there aren't other fine interpretations of this work...or that there aren't other fine orchestras about the planet. It's just that this orchestra playing this music at this point in history is an amazing and sublime bit of serendipity (not to mention hard work). The pacing and intensity of this performance is unique unto itself (as are all interpretations of a score). One can compare and contrast it to others, but one should also simply enjoy it for what it is: genius in service of genius. The playing is at once articulate and gentle, powerful and fiery.
The shimmering vocals are precisely localized and, properly reproduced, cut to the core of one's soul. The BIS mix sets a new standard for technical excellence. The incredible depth and transparency of this recording is limited only by the accuracy and power of one's playback system. Recorded music simply doesn't get any better than this.
