After acquaintance with this work via the Empfingen performance on LP, I was skeptical of this new attempt, but have been totally won over. It's like hearing the work for the first time and I look forward to many plays of the cpo issue.
I do have a question for those who purchased the physical CD. I note that the streaming/download version have discrepancies in timings vis-à-vis the booklet: e.g. CD1 track 04 Part I, Welt-Ende B.Die Apokalyptischen Reiter Recitative by St John Und ich sah, dass das Lamm is listed in the booklet as 07:14 while the download track is only 0:56 in duration. Among other discrepancies, the final track of CD2 (16 Part III, Neue Welt Chorus Komme, ja komme bald, Erlöser!) is stated to be 02:04 while the streaming version is 05:46
cpo, for all their merits, have a bit of track record at messing up tracks (punintentional) on their printed brochures and trays, but thought I'd check here if the physical CD actually matches the booklet timings. FWIW, the streaming version plays smoothly with no jarring segues from track-to-track. TIA.
