Performance:   Sonics:  
I bought this with great hope, but it just doesn't quite get there in most ways. There is some good playing and singing, but it doesn't seem to catch fire at any time. Soloists the same. Nice voices but not anything like the intensity that is needed, and that is supplied in many other versions, particularly Britten's. The SACD sound is very, very strange as well. While I completely applaud a company that tries to use the rear channels a little more imaginatively this goes too far, with bizarre perspectives and no realistic sound stage in any direction. We await the ideal multi-channel version I am afraid!
