Rie Miyake, Mihoko Fujimura, Kei Fukui, Markus Eiche
Mito Chamber Orchestra
Seiji Ozawa
Registrazione dal vivo / live recording, Mito City 2019
"Questa esecuzione ci è piaciuta immediatamente perché offre una fusione di elementi che è davvero apprezzabile in un pezzo come la Nona di Beethoven: una piccola orchestra che dà trasparenza e chiarezza. Poi c'è l'approccio romantico del veterano Seiji Ozawa. La lettura di Ozawa elettrizza senza essere secca o rigida, l'orchestra è precisa e ben bilanciata, i tempi sono emozionanti. Quanto ai solisti, questa performance è sorprendentemente ben cantata."
"What emerges is a dignified, rather old-fashioned performance...It can be quite beautiful, expressively speaking, and technically the playing of the Mito Chamber Orchestra and the singing of the choir and soloists are excellent – wonderful to hear such clear intonation in the final solo quartet. At times it’s surprising how much depth and richness of sound Seiji Ozawa gets from such relatively modest forces."
"Cast solidly in the mould of German-based interpretations of the post-war era, it enshrines pathos and distributes joy with all the ritual solemnity due to the daiku as a modern icon of Japanese culture."

Benjamin Britten
"Among the most magnetic performances of British music ever put on record."
"The merits of this ground-breaking performance is that it so arrestingly conveys Britten's intentions. We're lucky to have not only Britten's irreplaceable reading refurbished, but also his commentary suggested by the rehearsal sequences."
