Mahler: Symphony No. 3 - Boulez        (3 of 6 found this review helpful)
  Review by beardawgs November 30, 2003

This is a tough one: Boulez is frankly a pretty crap composer who became (in)famous for his statement quite a while ago that all opera houses should be burned. Then, accordingly, he gave us the worse Wagner performances on record and in living memory. But, at the same time, with his Ensemble ... more

My views on the music would tend to be more along with those that made this disc Gramophone Baroque Recording ... more
Bach: Violin Concertos - Hahn/Kahane        (4 of 4 found this review helpful)
  Review by stvnharr November 29, 2003

Hilary Hahn's new disc for DG is a real delight. Few pieces are as familiar as these 4 concertos. I found Ms. Hahn's playing here to be good as ever, as all her recordings have been. It was nice to hear a slightly different take on the C Minor Concerto, BMV 1060, with the oboe replacing the more ... more
