Reviews

Critics’ Choice 2021 – Gil French

American Record Guide – January/February 2022

“A Beethoven’s Ninth of our times.”

Lee Denham – MusicWeb-International.com – 5 April 2021

Performance ***** Recording ****

“… Everything about this performance has heft, from the orchestra to the soloists … the Finale a joyous argy-bargy of conflicting forces, beset with moments of transcendent, expressive beauty.”

Sarah Unwin Jones – BBC Music magazine – April 2021

“… Ultimately, then, this last movement proves a lackluster capstone to an otherwise largely agreeable Beethoven Nine. Reference Recording’s sonics are excellent as ever and Honeck provides an explication of his views on the piece for the liner notes. They’re intriguing to consider – even if the musical results don’t always bear him out.”

Jonathan Blumhofer – the artsfuse.org – 27 February 2021
