Stealth stunner

(5 out of 5 stars)

"For some reason this CD went relatively unnoticed upon its release. It is, to my ears, one of the better recordings of Daphnis, beautifully molded and paced, sensuous and sometimes time-suspending, yet with some hair-raisingly fast and almost violent dances. One proviso is that, like many digital recordings of the piece, the beginning is so ultra-quiet that you turn up the volume and then are eventually blasted out of the room. But what a blast!"
