Buffalo Philharmonic Perform Alum Lukas Foss
The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra performs to its usual high standards. JoAnn Faletta's direction is both insightful and illuminating.
Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and Falletta Echo Success
The BSO and Falletta give the symphony a stirring reading. It's a performance I found satisfying with repeated listening.
JoAnn Falletta Finds the Right Approach for Kodaly
Zoltan Kodály felt that music should be for everyone. The works -- and the performances on this album -- should have broad appeal.
Danny Elfman and Adolphus Hailstork — an Ideal Pairing
The Buffalo Symphony Orchestra, directed by JoAnne Falletta, tun in some super performances. That is to say, performances are on par with their other recordings from Naxos.
Florent Schmitt release balances familiar with unknown
Maestro JoAnn Falletta and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra do well with late Romantic/early Post Romantic repertoire. Their previous Schmidtt recording of Antoine et Cleopatre was outstanding. As is this.
Marcel Tyberg - A Voice Not Silenced
In a video promoting this release, JoAnn Falletta stated she’s fallen in love with Tyberg’s music. And her performance shows it. Highly recommended.
Suk's Fairy Tale has Happy Ending, Beginning, and Middle
Particularly striking is how well-recorded this release is. Suk’s music is as much about orchestral coloration as it is about structure. The Buffalo Philharmonic has a warm, inviting sound that really adds to the performance of these works.
