5.0 out of 5 stars Searing and passionate readings under Pletnev in 4D audio, 5 Aug 2006
By Mr. R. Lee-van Den Daele (Shipley, England.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Another exemplary disc from Pletnev and his finely-honed Russian National Orchestra.

Some music is best interpreted by natives of the composer's homeland and I think The Tempest and Mafred are two such pieces. Pletnev's talent for bringing out the music's myriad moods is nothing short of magical and his players respond to his every direction as if one. Not for Pletnev showy Tchaikovskian grandstanding, he subtly builds a great head of steam which, when released, is both astonishing and exhilarating. All departments excel - naturally, the rich and sonorous Slavic brass, but the strings and bucolic woodwind are also distinguished.

The recording, made using DG's 4D audio recording system, brings incredible realism and a wondrously wide soundstage with all orchestral sections clearly placed within the context of the greater whole. The slightly reverberent acoustic of the Moscow Conservatoire suits the music well and, at nearly 76 minutes in length, this CD is fabulous value for money.

They have been called benchmark recordings and it is easy to see why. A must for any serious collector's shelf.
