You can read my full review at Classical Source. I’ll add here that Alan Gilbert’s decision to program this massive work by New York Philharmonic composer-in-residence Magnus Lindberg was a bold move that paid off handsomely, even if it did drive a few dozen luddites from the hall. Kraft is one of those works that must be experienced, and orchestra, soloists, and Gilbert made it memorable. Gilbert may not be the right man to have on the podium for Mahler or Richard Strauss (though I have heard far worse from more prominent conductors), but he seems at last to be hitting his stride with the Philharmonic when post-romantic are involved.
