Negative Positive
Title: Pathetic and pasteurized...
Review: In the classical world there are great conductors: Toscanini, Solti, Karajan, Kondrashin, Boulez, Levine, Furtwangler, Klemperer, Rozhdestvensky, Previn, Ozawa, etc. There are also poor conductors, among which Fiedler and Slatkin spring instantly to mind.Leonard Slatkin is characteristically anemic in this outing. This fatuous release, cursed by facility, only serves to undermine composers as gifted as Orff. John Aler and the St Louis Orchestra are brilliant performers, and not served well by this outing. Even the cover [bites]. Avoid this dreck at all costs... CAVEAT EMPTOR!
