CD ReviewsNeo-Romantic Music for Viola B. R. Merrick | 10/25/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "What a great combination for a CD! The neo-romantic Bartók and Bloch both wrote lovely pieces for solo viola with orchestral accompaniment. While Bloch's piece is not technically a concerto, it shares equal emotional and virtuosic power with the Bartók.
Thompson is an able violist, making the instrument sound like a violin when he reaches higher. The Slovenian Radio Symphony may be lesser known, but here they prove themselves able to tackle music that is often more difficult to express than the listener may realize. Both the concerto and the suite are warm (rather than the typical melancholy sound of the viola) and the technical aspects of the recording are brilliant. How wonderful it is to get a recording where you are immediately satisfied with everything it has to offer." |
