Awards and reviews
October 2006
There are excellent things in this bargain-price Moses und Aron… Perhaps most impressive is the natural way that the big ensembles flow, the multifarious counterpoint of voices and instruments making complete musical and dramatic sense with no sense of strain but plenty of conviction. Overall this new version hardly displaces Boulez's ideally authoritative reading with Günter Reich's darkly eloquent Moses and Richard Cassilly's charismatic Aron.
