Free Music Review: Excellent
Hit: 4 Stars

Everything that prior reviewers say about this recording is correct. The soloists, particularly the terrific Deborah Voigt, are first rate, the choral work is splendid, and Sinopoli does an excellent job with the Staatskapelle Dresden. Listeners who think about Schoenberg as 'difficult' serialist composer would do well to pay attention to this work. Gurrelieder is a powerful work in the Romantic idiom in the same way that much of Mahler's orchestral music is an extension of 19th century romantic music. Parts are truly powerful. For my part, I find the tone of Gurrelieder a little relentless but this is a major work from a great composer.

Schoenberg: Gurrelieder / Voigt, Larmore, Moser, Riegel, Weikl, K.M. Brandauer; Sinopoli Poster

Until Seiji Ozawa's classic account of Sch?nberg's early postromantic masterpiece comes back into print, this is the one to look for. Sinopoli's performance took a while to make an impression on me, I have to admit. Lush, languorous Part One, despite the enormous forces Sch?nberg calls for in the work, is largely slow, intimate love music. That means it needs to be kept moving, and momentum is distinctly at a premium here with Giuseppe Sinopoli at the helm. On repeated listenings, however, it becomes increasingly difficult not to be seduced by the sheer beauty of the playing of the Staatskapelle Dresden or won over by the ardent singing of the soloists. And since the latter parts of the piece take off very nicely, culminating in a hugely apocalyptic wild hunt and final hymn to the sun, the performance ultimately leaves you feeling quite satisfied. Teldec's very fine sonics, captured live, also add to the glory of the sounds coming from the orchestra and singers. Just have a little patience for the first half-hour or so; it will pay dividends. --David Hurwitz
