SA-CD.net review by raffells January 29, 2006:
The very opening of this performance of The Rite gives a strong clue as to way this version is going. Musical,detailed & a huge acoustic. There are other versions that will over dramatize this incredible work & occasionally more incisive strident hammer blows, but seldom will the impact be as great as the beautifull playing & recording quality in this version. I would have preferred the Firebird to be 1st on the disc as The Rite is a difficult work to follow.
I presume they put it 2nd as it is probably even finer than the Rite .(I've played them seperatly so didn't notice the time gap between. All we need now is a matching Petrushka coupled with any of Stravs better works.
The Firebird has the silkiest string tone I've yet heard except for the latest Weingartner release & the overal sound is as near to analogue as I've yet heard.As Im not convined that Membran have a quality control I presume its sheer luck that all the latest releases sound much better.
Usual moan about cover/notes etc..If you havent got these works then this is 1 to go for. Actually giving it 5 stars for sound. ~Dave
