International Classical Music Award 2024 Nomination in the Symphonic category

International Classical Music Awards 2024

“… A worthy release all around, then, with good notes and fine sonics.”

Paul L Althouse – American Record Guide – May/June 2023

“…The new album does … carry something of a trump card in the form of the first-ever recording of the original version of the symphonic interlude from the ‘poème-symphonie’ Rédemption … Entirely different from its replacement, the piece opens with scoring of distinctly Wagnerian nature before progressing in a manner that borrows from Liszt and closing with a hint of Mendelssohn fairy music. The album concludes with an urgent and exciting account if Franck’s 1882 symphonic poem Le chasseur maudit. Alpha’s finely engineered recording allows Franck’s scoring in all three works to be heard with admirable balance and clarity…”

Christian Hoskins – Gramophone magazine – April 2023

“… Mr Altinoglu’s approach to the Franck symphony is a relatively direct one … this is a performance that does not sound over-hurried… Rather, it is generally brisk, tightly constructed and consistently focused… After this auspicious debut release, I will certainly look forward to hearing more from Mr Altinoglu and his Frankfurt orchestra…”

Rob Maynard – musicwebinternational.com – 27 February 2023

“…All the performances are sober, well-paced and never overblown, with textures as transparent as the scoring allows them to be.”

Andrew Clements – The Guardian – 19 January 2023
