Oramo seems to be in perfect tune with these galvanizing scores, and he brings them to a splendid polish and pitch. Ondine complements his efforts with an acoustic whose breadth and presence are equivalent (...). Anyone who enjoys Korngold and the Hollywood school will respond immediately to this revelatory release. Not to be missed by any listener who loves the modern orchestra! A landmark issue. This CD is the first release devoted entirely to the work of the Russian-born Finnish composer Ernest Pingoud (1887-1942). Pingoud was of cosmopolitan background, having trained with Alexander Siloti, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and Alexander Glazunov in St Petersburg, as well as Hugo Riemann and Max Reger in Leipzig. |
