Powerfully moving R&J / Not bad 4th
Scriabinmahler | UK | 03/09/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"
Abbado's Tchaikovsky recordings are often criticised for lack of slavonic passion and too much restraint. He is not interested in sentimental and often hysteric dramatisation of the music, but trying to represent the music as it is in sober nobility. But that does not mean his performance lacks fire and energy.



Romeo & Juliet played by Chicago SO is one of the most exciting and powerfully moving accounts on record, and the sound is sumptuous and every part of the score is articulated and vividly captured.



4th Symphony is not top-recommendation if you seek truly exciting performance, but very persuasive and eloquent with some magical moments in the slow movement and in the pizzicato section."
