CD Reviews

A real...yawn...disappointment.

(2 out of 5 stars)

"A really disappointing offering from Klein & the Hamburg Soloists, who have provided us with an excellent set of Haydn's Divertimenti. The playing is beautiful and totally immaculate, but these are old-school German performances...slow, heavy and virtually guaranteed to cause sleepiness. Now I am not fanatical on authentic performance practices, but one thing I do appreciate is the quick tempos and accent on liveliness the authenticists have brought. Klein is more along the lines of the old Karajan/Ritcher school of the 50s and 60s, emphasizing weightiness and dignity. If you like that kind of playing, you will like these performances. Otherwise, you will not (as I have not). Next purchase...Opus 6 by I Musici de Montreal."
