Eotvos is one of a kind. He is so low-key. Otherwise he'd be better known to a greater public.
In addition to being a composer and a conductor mostly known for conducting new music, he recorded my favorite version of Beethoven Symphony #5.
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

This one?  https://www.classicstoday.com/review/review-6926/

If so, what did you think of their use of amplification?

Yes, this is the one.
You won't truly "hear" the amplifications, per se. Everything sounds as natural as can be. What you will hear is the clarity and balance of every section of the orchestra. No "walls of sound". The result is just perfect (for me).

To be released on October 4th:

The current annihilation of a people on this planet (you know which one it is) is the most documented and at the same time the most preposterously denied.

An angel (this time a woman with a husky voice), a stuttering prophet, a self-assured choir that do not want to sing only Hallelujah, and the narrator who tries to convey the fragmentary scenes to the audience.
The English translation of Hallelujah – Oratorium Balbulum could perhaps be "Stammering  Oratorio". The main character, the prophet" can only speak his prophecies with a stutter, which will in turn result in considerable complications. The genre of the composition is the so-called "secular oratorio", which, as opposed to church oratorios, focus on our lives, seeks to give a picture of the year 2016 while trying to foretell the things that have become reality in the meantime. The author of the libretto, Péter Esterházy, proved to be a genuine prophet with the words he penned in 2011:  "We want boundaries. We erect fences all over the place and then build a fence around the fence. We are the ones inside, and outside...that is someone else...Perhaps for the first time in history, there is nothing to say about the future."
