CD Reviews

An American Voice - Music of Randall Thompson

Laura Cole | 06/10/2000

(1 out of 5 stars)

"Disappointing. The timbre is shallow, the chorus is out of tune, there's a great deal of "wobble" in the sound (related to why it's out of tune?) and the sopranos could shatter glass with their tone. Avoid."

Should have listened...

"Randall Thompson is one of my favorite composers, and I was on the lookout for a good recording of "Peaceable Kingdom." I read the review prior to mine, and didn't believe it - it couldn't be *that* bad. No offense if any of the musicians on this recording read this, but it IS *that* bad. It is painful to listen to. Do not waste your money!"

A dissapointing recording

"Out of tune and poor tone just not the best version of Randall Thompson's works"
