CD Reviews

Classical, with a twist ...

(5 out of 5 stars)

"You won't believe Stratos performs without a conductor, but they do. Prior to the recording of this CD, they lived together for two weeks, rehearsing, playing and learning to think together. The result is powerful and emotional music, a bit out of the ordinary, but sublime for the ear.This masterpiece includes:Corelli's Christmas Concerto Tomaso Albioni's AdagioDmitri Shostakovich and Rudolf Barshai's Chamber Symphony, Op. 110aBarber's AdagioVivalidi's Summer Frank Martin's Etudes for String OrchestraTrust me when I say they could hardly sound any better."

One of the best ever

"My only frustration with Stratos is that they've only put out one CD. This is THE most passionate music I've heard. Of course they don't play anything new -- it's the way they play it that makes the difference. The group rotates leadership, and they play without a conductor. Somehow it comes through; each musician plays as if this music were her/his own. Although Barber's "Adagio for Strings" has been overplayed recently because it was used in a movie soundtrack, this version is the best, period. It's almost impossible to listen to it without crying. And the Corelli -- move over Ravel . . . put this on at bedtime!"
