The recording of Georg Schumann’s oratorio Ruth, featuring Polish soprano Marcelina Román, has been highly praised in the latest edition of the prestigious German music magazine Fono Forum ⭐️ — one of the most respected publications in the classical music world.
In his detailed review for MusicWeb International (MWI), critic Philip Harrison — known for his insightful and exacting standards — highlighted both the artistic and emotional qualities of the performance. He wrote:
“Polish soprano Marcelina Román is wonderful as she delivers the famous words of adoration and fealty to Naomi. Her voice is fresh and agile with the power to thrill to boot.”
“This recording of Georg Schumann’s Ruth is outstanding. It is the best recording I have heard all year.”
Such words from a seasoned reviewer underline the significance of this release, not only for its technical excellence but also for its deep emotional impact on listeners.
The album was recorded live in 2023 at the Philharmonie Berlin, with the Philharmonischer Chor Berlin and the Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt, conducted by Maestro Jörg-Peter Weigle.
