❦ Korngold: Symphony in F sharpArtists: John Storgårds. (1 CD) OND 1182 $18.99 $14.99 On Sale“It’s still very good by any measure, well playedand well recorded. John Storgards typically paysgreat attention to details of string articulation andto Korngold’s always glittering textures.” -ClassicsToday “Storgårds’ approach to thesymphony is straightforward and assertive, andthe Helsinki musicians play with determinationand energy, so their 2010 performance is strongand bears repeated listening. The performance ofTänzchen is smooth and gemütlich, though itsappeal is limited because it is a minor work, withonly charming melodies to recommend it.

“For both Kremer and Argerich, these areperformances that are absolutely deserving ofreissue. Argerich’s playing is powerful andbrilliantly energetic, providing sharp, grippingcontrasts between elegant melody and brashchordal sections. Kremer’s performance, whileperhaps not as revolutionary as some of hisinterpretations, is every bit as technically pristineand musically insightful. What both artists shareis sensational ability to grab a listener’s attentionand hold us rapt. Harnoncourt and the COEprovide a sensitive but robust backdrop andApex’s sound is rich and clear.” -All Music Guide
