"The Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra bring a burnished, polished sound to every strand of Strauss's kaleidoscopic score Alpensinfonie, and BR-Klassik's engineering is a marvel of presence, clarity and detail ... Tod und Verklärung is every bit as well played and recorded, and the work has rarely sounded better"

Vurdering: 5/5

"Selten vermittelte eine Aufführung so sehr das Gefühl, das in dieser Musik doch noch mehr stecken müsse als blosser Naturalismus ... Im übrigen ist dies ein wunderbar idiomatischer, vom Orchester überragend realistischer Strauss von besonderer Güte"

"Recording of the month: With so many superlative and recommendable recordings already in the field ... I think this would now be my prime recommendation to anyone new to the work, simply because of its combination of superb sound, the technical excellence of execution by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and the sheer electricity of this performance under Jansons's direction ... "Tod und Verklärung" is likewise executed in masterly fashion, perfectly paced and magnificently played"
