Review title: Deeply Flawed-- Try Another Version
Product review: This version of a magnificent work has never pleased me. Karajan seems to be flogging his orchestra -- the pace is way too fast for a work that is focused on mourning. Perhaps because the pacing is too aggressive, everyone performs as if they were terrified. The soloists acquit themselves very poorly on track 4. The bass starts everything off with an almost absurd rendition -- he sounds like a walrus choking on phlegm. One of the female vocalists, probably Anna Tomowa-Sintow, cannot sing the letter "s" without hissing -- she sounds ridiculous. Honestly folks, I'm not making this up -- I want to like the recording but it's impossible. Karajan has bequeathed us a disaster, puncutated only occasionally by flashes of the grandeur that could have been.
