JoAnn FallettaAbout
The Naxos label has released numerous recordings of works by Richard Danielpour, including a previous oratorio Toward a Season of Peace (8559772) that was highly regarded in Fanfare: ‘Every work I have ever heard by Danielpour has impressed me, and Toward a Season of Peace does so in spades. This is music of dark beauty, hushed mystery, sweeping gestures, deeply moving elegies and awesome climaxes that threaten to sweep you right out of the room.’
Conductor JoAnn Falletta and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra have produced some of our most successful recordings in recent years. Respighi’s Roman Trilogy (8574013) released in February 2019 was much admired in the Gramophone magazine: ‘The mandolin serenade that closes “L’Ottobrata” in Feste romane is all amatory nostalgia, exquisitely done. Time suddenly stands still, meanwhile, when we reach the Catacombs in Pini, where the distant trumpet seems to hover eerily in the air and the penumbral strings suggest deep, reverential awe. The Gianicolo movement – slow and very sensuous indeed – is genuinely magical.’
The booklet notes for The Passion of Yeshua have been written by the composer, who considers the recording ‘an extraordinary testament to what musicians can do when they are brought together by a common vision.’
