4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth a listen, especially the Barber, 6 Sep 2003
By P. SIMPSON "nucaleena" (North Yorkshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Jennifer Higdon's "blue cathedral" and the Theofanidis work what gives this disc its title are both "about" cathedrals and mystical/philosophical experiences. They are undeniably fine pieces and are both interesting and attractive in their own right, but I can't say that they're masterpieces or will bear too much repeat listening. Both are just a little too predictably and self consciously "impressive".
The Barber and Copeland are a different kettle of fish. Both are terrific works, if not necessarily masterpieces, which have deservedly held their place in the repertoire, and both are given absolutely stunning, superlative performances. I can't remember when i've ever heard a better performance of the Barber
from anyone, - impassioned, youthful, romantic, powerful.
And the Apalachian spring is every bit as good, - Spano's fine orchestra is tight and clear, affectionate without being sentimental. Whilst I only know a few "Spring" performances, this is easily the best and for sound is up there with the splendid Dallas recording on Dorian.
Indeed, the sound overall is marvellous,- clear, precise and powerful. My ears detected slight and short-lived congestion in the Higdon and Theofinidis pieces, but absolutely none in the Barber and Copeland. The soundstage is beautifully broad in SACD stereo and my guess is would suit speakers taking a "height" channel very well.
So, pretty much spectacular sound, some impressive new pieces and two superlative performances of the main works. Recommended.
