Title: Near Perfect Ressurection!
Product review: Klemperer would admire Levi's deeply felt, noble acount of Resurrection. Had Karajan conducted it, would it sound better than this?Very few things go wrong here, which is extremely rare in this gigantic work. No vulgar distortion of tempi, Maximum impact of every earth-shattering bang, the sense of awe in the calm, breath taking subtlety in pianissimo, masterfully measured building-up toward the massive climax, and more to discover. Most admirable thing about Levi's interpretation is that everything he does is governed, not by analytical mind, but by emotional and spiritual intensity, unlike so many of our generation of cool conductors whoes music comes, not from heart, but from head.My only complaint is the stiff solists who sing their part like R.Strauss Opera area towards the end, and too brightly lit sound, but of course that's matter of personal taste.
