CD Reviews

A powerful oratorio that fits no sterotyped mold

12/17/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Telemann's later passions and oratorios are powerful, unorthodox works largely unknown till published editions were released from the the Kassel Telemann Archive compilation effort begun after World War II. I own two other renditions of Der Tag des Gerichts, Rheinische Kantorei & Nicolaus Harnoncourt and am just buying this one, so I shouldn't be rating the CD (they forced me to rate or I couldn't submit the review). Telemann's chorales melt me no matter who does them - and judging from the clips the Wikman chorus and soloists are excellent. The big questions relate to whether you like "authentic instrument" performance, which this version appears to be. I prefer full-blooded modern instruments because I think that historic performance trivializes Telemann's gift for unique instrumental effects and harmonies. But we'll see."
