I am a great admirer of the music by the late Eduardo Mata and the Dallas Symphony. I have heard wonderful Prokofiev, Ibert and Stravinsky from this pairing.

I cannot extend that admiration to this justifiably withdrawn production, however. To state it as simply as possible, the approach Maestro Mata adopted to the monumental "Leningrad" symphony is just too pretty. He tries to make beautiful music out of a score that represents the heroism of Russians under attack by both Hitler and Stalin.

There is little reason for you to approach this CD unless you want to hear an inappropriate performance of this music. The Dallas players do their best but the direction is simply wrong.
