Title: A gem of banality
Review: Strauss once said, "I may not be a first-rate composer, but I am a first-rate seond-rate composer." His masterpieces would ead you to believe that he was, indeed, first-rate. But he had the maddening haibt of composing pointlessly virtuosic, endlessly harmonized, almost slithery music that was worse than second-rate. Despite Sinopoli on the podium to give it the plantinum treatment, Joseph's Legend is aimless, banal, and never-ending. It doesn't come from the veyr bottom of Struass's barrel but it comes close.
