CD Reviews

Coherent and Breathtaking

Daniel Robuck | Campbell, CA | 09/21/1998

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Jarvi's take on Symphony 4 is naturally pinpoint perfect and note-for-note lovely. But the star of this recording is found in the definitive singing of the Biblical Songs by bass-baritone, Mr. Cook. Rather than opt for a series of songs, one after the other as with ,say, a Schubert song cycle, Jarvi and Cook have used an arrangement that brings legato to the works making them into a whole. There is something very operatic in these pieces, dramatic and highly melodic. Not being a particularly spiritual person myself, these songs certainly have a life of their own beyond the religious context of their lyrics. Listen to Dvorak's 'Lord's Prayer', for example, and you really hear more pastoral folk singing than sacred writing. This is one of Jarvi's top efforts."
