CD Reviews

The gamut of Strauss's orchestral genius.

darragh o'donoghue | 03/21/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"this extraordinary bargain double CD offers testament to the orchestral versatility, virtuosity and magical intensity of Richard Strauss, ranging from the relatively unknown to the canonic.There are two tone poems - the mercurial and inventive 'Till Eulenspiegel', a tribute to a legendarily impish German subversive; and 'Don Juan', lush and yearning, belonging to an earlier, pre-Wagnerian age of Romanticism; two huge symphonies - the mountainous 'Alpine Symphony', surging you to the top of the world, and yet crashing with a neurotic organ when at its most sublime; and the gorgeous 'Sinfonia Domestica', a musical portrait of the composer's family life, a sustained epiphany of love and melody; and the relatively small-scale 'Suite for 13 instruments', juvenelia dismissed by Strauss, but intricately aspiring to the condition of fugue. De Waart may not be renowned as the great modern Straussian, but I treasure his 'Rosenkavelier', and he effortlessly conjures the required splendour and rush here."

The best Strauss deal you can get...

Ethan Sobotta | Seattle, WA | 12/04/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Come on, where else are you going to get this much Strauss (that sounds GOOD) for $12? The Minnesota Orch. sounds lush and precise as always, and the interpretations are very good, as well. No other way to say it: if it says "Minnesota Orchestra" on it, it should be on your CD rack."

Brass!

J. Callahan | Minnesota | 01/03/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Besides the fact that the MN Orchestra does a wonderful job with this piece, the brass will absolutely blow you away. If you are a fan of trumpet playing at all, I urge you to buy this CD and listen to "On the Glacier." Manny Laureano, the principal trumpet, does a sensational job with the whole movement."
