Dramatic conviction is strong in Neumann's conception of the work. Tempos move briskly, charged with energy and vitality. He appreciates the important role of the chorus, whose contributions are powerful. This is an exciting performance, and by the final chorus I was really on a "high". Against the competition, this new German recording rates very high. It is certainly superior to Harnoncourt's heavily cut and somewhat mannered Teldec reissue.
