Simply splendid

"Rarely do I listen to a classical recording and not find something small and distracting about the style, the interpretation, or an individual voice.



That being said, this recording not only harbors no annoyances, it is one of my favorite classical masterpieces.



I have been touched by both performing and listening to classical music since I was a small child--performing classical solo piano and singing in choral ensembles--and this recording continuously moves me to tears and takes me to a concert hall with the closing of my eyelids.



The smaller size of this ensemble gives an intimacy and a nuance of interpretation in this work that is unmatched."
