ADHD Summary:
A markedly different approach to solving the Mendelssohn #2 problem; both less and more satisfactory than the old DoubleMint Gum, this recording is really two, two, two performances in one. The Sinfonia part lacks drama, and the choral 2/3rds makes up for it. In terms of enjoyable ... more |
