Soiréestücke

"BIS have fashioned a well-planned concept album, consisting of three sinfoniettas by twentieth-century composers who are better known in other genres. While none of these compositions would rank in the top echelon of their oeuvre, all are characteristic of their respective composers ... Poulenc's Sinfonietta ... a delicious work and well performed in this terrific account by the Lahti orchestra under their chief conductor ... Prokofiev composed his Sinfonietta as early as 1909 predating his Classical Symphony, but then revised it twice ... Again Slobodeniouk and his forces clearly have the measure of the work ... Britten's Sinfonietta provides quite a contrast to the two previous pieces. It is a more serious and dissonant work to be sure, but for me it is as memorable as the others ... With its attractive programme, superb performances, and state-of-the-art sound this SACD is easy to like".
