Frankfurter Opera and Museum Orchestra
Conductor: Sebastian Weigle
‘…exceptionally vivid and detailed sound, which makes
everything in these elaborately scored and contrapuntally
dense works fully audible.’ – AllMusic.com on Vol. 6 (OC893)
‘Weigle’s performances here are not only musically
thrilling—both dynamically, and in regards to his color
palette, his sense of voicing, and overall pacing—but
thoroughly enjoyable to listen to on these transitionary
days of early spring.’
– Fanfare on Vol. 5 (OC892)
