Himmelsmusik: Christina Pluhar Goes To Heaven
Review by: Jens F. Laurson
Artistic Quality: ?
Sound Quality: ?

Vienna, February 26, 2019; Musikverein—Liszt’s tone poem From the Cradle to the Grave is bound be one of those works that we will spasmodically “rediscover”, revive, hype, and – briefly – praise before forgetting again… because it really isn’t all that great. (Also see point 8 of David Hurwitz’ “Classical Music’s Ten Dirtiest Secrets”.) It fails to deliver on what it sets out to do: It does *not

Riccardo Mutis Wiener KlangspektakelTschaikowskis Klassiker ist an die Staatsoper zurückgekehrt.Bei Beethovens fünftem Klavierkonzert weiß man immerhin, was man hat. Gekonnt und formschön spielt Rudolf Buchbinder Beethoven und immer wieder Beethoven, zu geschmeidig, groß und satt auftragenden, Riccardo-Muti-gesteuerten Philharmonikern. Davon kann man nicht genug bekommen. Oder? Wilhelm Backhaus
