A passionate romantic performance
G Pelloni | Cottingham, East Yorkshire United Kingdom | 08/04/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"this is not a performance for faint-harted perfectionists nor for hard-nosed music martinets, this a performance with a strongly romantic bent. Ney, as her usual, is not a clean player. A certain amount of untidy playing is part and parcel of her style, but what a flair, what a passion! What a pity that this player tainted her career with disgraceful political allegiances. She was a musical force to be reckoned with, as this cd testifies. Konwitschny conducting is in a "Furtwanglerian" mould. The musical structure is revealed through flexible but not arbitrary phrasing. The orchestra follows with similarly unrestraint passion. Beautiful!"
