Music reviews of Schnittke: Piano Concerto; Requiem
Music Review: Requiem/Great work/great performance.
Rating: 5 Stars
Polyansky is one of the best conductors in Schnittke, though obviously there's not much competition, so few multipile recordings. No matter how few, as long as we get one outstanding as this one.
The Requiem is dark and ominious, which is typical of Schnittke, 'the depths" is what he is after. Profiund genius of a man and composer, shows clearly in this Requiem. The words selected by Schnittke are ancient prayers from old sources, and deal with end times of God's dealings with man. Its so apt for todays times. Which confirm my opinion that both Schnittke and Pettersson were convicted in the conscience by the "warp and woof' of this spinning earth and its tragic consequences if continued at such a pace.
Of course the humanists/atheists call such ideas 'fluff and snuff". Which is why Schnittke's music strikes much greater at those with soul.
