CD Reviews

Rutter's Poulenc CD is great

William Lee Bynum | Williamsburg, VA USA | 03/07/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a spirited performance of beautiful music. It is typically

an "English" choral sound -- lots of head tones, crystal-clear diction,

performance clarity.

BUT if you want the "definitive" Poulenc Gloria, this is not it. Actually,

I have the first recording made of the Gloria -- an Angel mono LP "made

with supervision of the composer" (whatever that means) in 1961.

It's a grand, operatic performance, but it's a little soggy in places,

and the soprano tended to drag. Maybe this is the definitive Poulenc

Gloria, I don't know.

I certainly like the Rutter performance for its clarity."
