Outstanding Rare Repertoire

01/03/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"An excellent "off the beaten path" disc. To me, Vainberg sounds like a cross between Shostakovich and Myaskovsky - with the former's strength of construction and the latter's gentle melodic melancholy. If you like accessible, tonal and mildly challenging modern symphonic music, do give this a try. One final note: Check out this orchestra's pizzicato in the final movement of the symphony. What a pleasure!"
