Description:

Matthew", a masterpiece in the history of recordings by Kuiken & La Petite Band, a well-honed performance that has been out of circulation for a while as a single track, has been re-released! The 2009 recording of "Matthew" by Sigiswald Kuiken & La Petite Band, known as a masterpiece, has been re-released. The soloist also performs the chorus part, and the orchestra is trimmed down to a small number of singers, resulting in a sharpened and polished performance. At the time of its release, there were some controversial aspects of the work, such as the replacement of the boys' chorus with sopranos. However, it all stems from the fact that Oke's approach was to make the work sound truly alive, rather than to make it sound like a rigidly academic work, and this is why it is still regarded as a brilliant and masterful performance that has been preserved to this day. This is a masterpiece that shines in the history of "Matthew" recordings. The hybrid version (CC72821) released in 2019 has been discontinued. King International
