Hit: 5 Stars
I don't think I have ever heard music quite like this. Honestly, it seems to transcend its own sound reaching right into the realm of pure emotion. The first movement builds like singular streams of water joining one another slowly one after the other eventually becoming an unrelenting torrent. Liquid is perhaps an apt descriptor for the tone and sound of this symphony, like a river, oceans or tears.
The pacing is a bit slower than the 1992 recording, particularly in the 3rd movement. On a good sound system, with multi-channel SACD playback, this recording wins out as the best yet. The strings are lush and deep. The soloist's voice naturally fills the space around you. In fact, everything about the mixing and mastering of this disc lends to a very natural, warm sound. There is no large hall reverb here, yet it is not a dry recording either; it just perfectly fills the space around you. Everything about the performance is excellent.
I highly recommend this.
