Ah, Danzig (to be fair, this recording is embarrassingly bad):
Chailly proves once again that Mahler is a composer of irredeemable vulgarity.
His endless opening āKraftigā has dumb tones and stupid marches.
Hi @Ian_Murphy,
thatās DEFINITELY one of the worst reviews Iāve ever read!!! A case of irredeemable brainlessnessā¦
Just came across Rolf Lislevand in TIDALās new Classical releases, and then found this stinker of a review for one of his earlier effortsā¦
. . . Ouch!
I rather enjoyed reading it It makes me want to listen to Scottās music to see if I will agree with the view (and I suspect I will).
I donāt know what Debussy, Elgar and Strauss thought of these particular pieces but generally they liked Scott. Must admit that unlike this reviewer, the English Edwardians are a guilty pleasure for me!
Wow. Allmusic seems to have no rule about writing under the influence.
Iāve a chamber album of Scott in the library, also released by Chandos, which got a rather favourable review so thereās at least diversity of opinion in place.
Flapdoodle. Twice!
Itās a release specific review that weāve applied to the whole album (erroneously). Apologies for that; however, Itās already fixed in code thatās currently in test.
Pretty damning review that ends with:
A lightly played, lightly sung, lightly recorded Missa Solemnis: if thatās what one wants in a Missa Solemnis, here it is.
Itās quite disgraceful (literally) that we canāt block this nonsense from appearing on our Roon displays.
Thatās astonishing. That Mahler 3 review is also by James Leonard whom has also come up in relation to Beethovenās Missa solemnis.
Maybe whatās needed here is a reviewer ban like the ROONRADIOBAN. It could be ROONREVIEWERBAN. I donāt mind critical reviews but this guy doesnāt seem to like anything except half a dozen recordings from his youth.
Itās frankly embarrassing to have such drivel appearing on the screen, when in company, and one is playing some well-loved album.
Good idea - perhaps you could raise it in the Feature Request forum?
