Guan Xia China National Symphony Orchestra, Michel Plasson - Earth Requiem

pjlaureta

Review by Paul John Laureta

Earth Requiem, performed by the China National Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Michel Plasson, is a stunning and powerful album that captures the essence of the natural world. The work is a requiem for the earth, with music that is both haunting and beautiful.

The album features a range of instruments, including strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion, all of which come together in a seamless and harmonious way. The orchestra's playing is precise and emotive, with each note and phrase conveying a sense of urgency and emotion.

At times, the music is serene and contemplative, with soft, gentle melodies that evoke the beauty of the earth. At other times, it is more dramatic and intense, with soaring crescendos and thunderous percussion that capture the raw power of nature.

One of the album's standout tracks is the "Lament for the Earth," which features a haunting solo cello that is both melancholic and hopeful. The piece builds to a powerful climax, with the full orchestra joining in to create a sound that is both majestic and mournful.
