"Claire Bloom delivers (Kaddish) in a calm, inward manner, as if at prayer ... assured, purposeful contributions by the choirs and Alsop's excellent Baltimore Symphony Orchestra ..."
- BBC Music Magazine
"... this disc is superb. Claire Bloom’s narration is beautifully assimilated into the sound picture. The orchestral playing is razor-sharp, the chorus outstanding. Naxos’s recording has the requisite depth and range."
- The Arts Desk
"... recorded here in a performance of great conviction from Marin Alsop, with the wonderful Claire Bloom achieving a happy medium between the declamatory and the confidential ... there are instances of pure gold: a consoling lullaby at the heart of the piece (featuring limpid soprano Kelley Nassief) ..."
- Gramophone
Three examples of Leonard Bernstein’s vocal art can be heard on this recording from Bernstein protégé Marin Alsop, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, three choirs and soloist. Bernstein's Symphony No. 3 ‘Kaddish’ shuns traditional symphonic ideas in favour of an eclectic theatrical and oratorio-like form with a prominent role for speaker, filled here by actress Claire Bloom. For this performance, Alsop has returned to the work’s original narrative text, heard before the 1977 revision. Also on the programme is Bernstein's Missa Brevis and The Lark, heard in a 2012 concert version with added narration by Alsop.
