Reviews

“In the unusually brisk tempo chosen by Donald Runnicles, the canonic passages in the strings with which the first movement opens and closes, for example, develop a gripping pull. Christine Brewer’s full-sounding soprano conveys the message of the texts without charging them with additional sentiment, resulting in a pleasingly sober reading of a work often misused for pure atmospheric scenery.” (FonoForum / Gorecki Symphonie)

“Rudolf Werthen and the extremely transparent and disciplined Flemish orchestra I Fiamminghi capture the breath and spirit of this new ‘early music’ with a renaissance-like tone.” (FonoForum / Gorecki)

“Rudolf Werthen unfolds a subtle tonal backdrop. The noblesse and intimacy of the playing is impressive.” (stereo / Vasks)

“I Fiamminghi, who despite their Italian name are called ‘The Flemings’, sometimes risk so much emotion beyond the vocal prayer that they could easily be described as ‘flames’.” (FonForum / Pärt)
