Free Music Review: Samuel Ramey shines in Previn Brahms
Hit: 5 Stars
Previn's 1986 reading of the Brahms Requiem is a worthy addition to any music collection. With the top-notch Ambrosian Singers, star soloists, and the brilliant work of the Royal Philharmonic, this budget CD is really a steal.
Like Karajan, Previn takes slow tempos (total time: 75'56") to draw every bit of romance and emotion out of every phrase. Movements 1 and 7 feature lush, thick readings that you won't soon forget. The brass work is stunning in Movement 2. Movement 3's fugue is one of the most intense choral buildups I've ever heard. The chorus lets loose its shattering power in Movement 3's fugue and Movement 6's "Denn es wird die Posaune".
Samuel Ramey was my major draw to this album. The famed bass baritone has a unique sound that seems to make new even the most often performed music. If you are a Ramey fan, this CD is definitely worth your attention.
I found the recorded sound very satisfactory.
