CD Reviews

A good record for the adventurous

Ray Barnes | Surrey, British Columbia Canada | 06/29/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This Schoenberg disc is worth having for the sake of Jan De Gaetani's singing, or shall we say musical vocalization. The Pierrot Lunaire is written for a Sprechstimme (or some would say Sprechgesang), meaning roughly somewhere between full singing and speech. There are not surprisingly many recordings of this work, as the vocal part is very tough to bring off, but the soloist here does as well as possible. There is almost a twisted cabaret style to the singing, as the composer had intended, not to mention a dark and somewhat neurotic undercurrent. The monodrama Erwartung takes this musical atmosphere even further. The ensemble playing is first class, and this is not easy music. The Book of the Hanging Gardens is a success too. This is a record to force yourself to listen to more than once, to stretch your horizons. The documentation is indispensable. Excellent sound, along with the packaging and presentation, complete with the expressionistic painting on the cover. Highly recommended."

Amazing

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I love this recording of Pierrot so much that there was a time when I listened to it pretty much on repeat the way people usually do with rock albums. If you've heard another recording of Pierrot and didn't like it (like that horrible Boulez one), do yourself a favor and buy this, and see what it's really supposed to sound like. I've heard this singing surpassed only by a live performance, and that had flaws in other ways. Get this, now, listen to the whole thing while following in the translation, and then, I dare you, tell me this isn't one of the greatest pieces of music ever written."

The best

A. Temple | 04/08/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the recording that made me fall in love with 20th century classical music. Hundreds of CD's of modern music later, this one remains very close to my heart. Pierrot is scary, poignant, strident, and sometimes annoying--it's a masterpiece of exaggerated emotion. If God incarnated as a drag queen, this is what He'd sing."
