Review title: A Great Performance, but. . .
Product review: The performance of Lenny with the Santa Cecilia National Academy Orchestra is generally well played. When it comes of Le Mer though, I recommend you to buy elsewhere. Lenny with Santa Cecilia Orchestra is played rather slowly and gently. The first movement, compared to the one with the New York Phil, is more calming, but a bit lacking on the climax part. The final movement too, he and Santa Cecilia Orchestra is less thrilling. I don't really think it's a really bad idea to buy this CD, because overall it's beautiful. But I recommend you to buy the one when Lenny was with the New York Phil, when he was younger, or Karajan with the Berlin Phil, or Boulez with the Cleveland Orchestra. Lenny with New York Phil, and Charlie the Tuna (that's Boulez), I believe, especially plays with enthusiasm. The Prelude with Santa Cecilia is very smoothly played, and Images are played just fine too. This CD is not at all bad.
