The main drawback of this otherwise great recording is the participation of counter tenor Dominique Visse, who stains this record with his horrible voice.
Quote from: Leo K. on Today at 08:58:48 AMI didn't use to like Bernstein's 3rd Symphony "Kaddish" but I respected it, but now today, after again hearing his earlier recording with his wife as the speaker, just totally blew me away, and now I love love love it. It's like the clouds opened and I get it, the speaker is essential and almost a percussive element if done with intent. Because of much that I am hearing in the media lately, the text felt so relevant as ever. The music was crushing and beautiful.

Quote from: steve ridgway on Today at 09:35:38 PMI was just reading on Wikipedia that Kremer invited Schnittke to play with the orchestra on its 1977 tour to Austria and Germany so he'd get permission to travel and hear the premiere in the West of the Concerto Grosso No. 1 that Kremer and Grindenko had asked him to compose the previous year.
As a different performance of that was what I was just listening to.
