简介:
The issue is an early 80th birthday present to Michael Gielen & one must say that he deserves every last second that is on these discs. Whilst this is nowhere near the fastest reading on disc, it holds the attention throughout; one must never mistake slowness for slackness. The kaleidoscope of sound is firmly but gently bought into crystalline focus under his baton. The general tempi may be slower than many on disc have adopted but the dedicated concentration keeps the listener riveted & allows for the love songs to sound genuinely tender. In the more extrovert Parts 2 & 3, the slightly relaxed pacing is offset by the amount of detail that can register with the mind. Together with a rhapsodic & ecstatic closing sunrise, the emotional impact is overwhelming & takes one completely by surprise (as if Gielen is trying to conceal it from our consciousness, only to subvert this in our subconscious ear). [If one is sampling, beware - snippets here & there can be quite deceptive on 1st hearing.]
