CD Reviews

One of the Greatest Living Orchestras in the World

Bryan Zemanski | University of KY Lexington USA | 11/09/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Open your mind and strap on your classical thrill belt!This orchestra is one of the greatest groups in the modern clasical circuit. One amazing factor in their success is that they have NO CONDUCTOR! Their perfomances are innovative, well articulated, and very energetic. The phrasing is outstanding. This group plays very precisely and uniformly. The balance is incredible! I cannot say enough about this orchestra--see for yourself. You will not be disappointed! Buy this CD- it's the best recording of Rossini I think I'll ever be graced to hear on modern instruments. Orpheus is God's fresh gift to the humdrum of stale ensembles. What a great price, too!"

Well played technically ,but...

Dennis J. Marconi | Los Angeles, CA USA | 03/29/2004

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I have two major issues with this cd:1) why was the William Tell overture omitted? Anyone who has heard it in its 12 minute entirety cannot help but be impressed. It's one of the best, if not the best, overture Rossini wrote. Listen to Gardelli or Chailly conduct this overture in their respective versions of the entire opera. 2) I enjoy Orpheus and admire their technique, but at times they can sound a bit too mechanical. In this issue, I found that they were unable to convey some of Rossini's playfulness,warmth and humor. So with all due respect, I cannot share the enthusiasm of others regarding this disc."
