Frank Martin, in the years immediately after World War II, to achieve an international reputation.
What is remarkable in this score is its extraordinary invention yet Martin does not totally avoid serialism. “Driven along with a powerful sense of urgency by Reuss, this is an intense and deeply moving performance which… brings to the catalogue something which it has never had before; a really first-rate and compelling performance of this most important of Martin scores.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2007 “Daniel Reuss's… singers and instrumentalists show themselves completely attuned to this exalted score and sensitive to its luminous textures and powerful sense of mystery. The choir has perfect intonation and tonal blend. Expertly balanced recording too. In all, a wonderful issue.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2007 ***** “This Berlin-based recording is simply stupendous…The beautifully nuanced recorded sound caps an essential release for anyone interested in the forgotten byways of mid-20th-century music.” Daily Telegraph | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
