"The performance is very, very good indeed. It's not a "star turn" by any means. Zagrosek and his players direct all their energies to illuminate the work. Singers' diction is crisp. The text is always intelligible, which would certainly have warmed the hearts of Eisler and Brecht. Even the chorus does more than just stand there and let fly. They sing dramatically and expressively. Zagrosek's grip on this very difficult music is firm, and - passing the highest test I know - makes it communicate directly to the listener. One can forget about tonal/atonal and just groove. Recorded sound is London's usual superb and balances - which must have given engineers fits, if we consider the large forces involved - are beautifully clear and, one might say, natural."
