Review True Love Waits - The Music of Radiohead / Radiohead:

As befits the dedicated expectancy of its title, True Love Waits is a belated expression of admiration for the music of Radiohead from the renowned American concert pianist Christopher O'Riley, a man who ordinarily plys his craft performing Rachmaninoff, Chopin and Prokofiev but whose affinity for the anomalous Oxford quintet has inspired him to transpose 15 of their songs into his own interpretive, classical piano recitals. While it's true to say that classical is classical and pop is pop and ne'er the twain shall meet, Christopher O'Riley's True Love Waits sits alongside the Balanescu String Quartet's transcriptions of Kraftwerk compositions and Swedish choristers the Nau Ensemble's variations on Joy Division's Closer as a brilliantly effulgent exception to the rule. Amusingly serious sleevenotes aside (classical music etiquette deems Radiohead songs are actually written by Thomas Yorke, Jonathan Greenwood, Edward O'Brien, etc), O'Riley finds sedative melodic beauty hidden behind the rodent-bashing fancy of "Knives Out" while "Exit Music" and "Airbag" are chillingly distant, seemingly conveyed by invisible fingers from the haunted ballroom at the end of the marble corridor. "Arrest this man… he's like a detuned radio" sang Thom Yorke in 1997. However, thanks to Christopher O'Riley, the hitherto unthinkable concept of Middle-Englanders chinking their afternoon cups and saucers to the strains of "Karma Police" on Classic FM has just become a reality. -Kevin Maidment.

Review La Damnation De Faust (LSO, Davis) / Hector Berlioz:

If Colin Davis's main achievement in this series of live recordings-now including Berlioz's La Damnation de Faust-is to draw out a lyricism in keeping with the composer's original intentions, then he has done his job very well indeed. This particular piece is one which lends itself to a long-term appreciation, as it is not the most uplifting subject matter. However, the orchestra is both beautiful in accompaniment and vibrant in thematic moments, and provides a wonderful partner to the talents of the singers. Sabbatini's Faust is rich in tone, and he interestingly adds a certain despair to his voice as the piece progresses. Pertusi, in his role as Mephistopheles, is brilliantly malevolent; this contrasts with the porcelain mezzo of Shkosa. In particular there are some real highlights, most notably the "Dance of the Sylphs" and Faust's aria, but it is primarily the high standard of orchestral playing which stands out, cementing the LSO's reputation. The only drawback to an otherwise very worthwhile recording is the choir, which at times sounds tired and strained. But in reality, this is only a minor blemish to yet another intelligent live performance. -Dominic Sewell.
