"Riccardo Minasi arbeitet das Rhetorische und Dramatische von Haydns "Sieben Worten" deutlich heraus und lässt seine Musiker beherzt an Grenzen gehen, ohne sie zu überschreiten. So wird der Hörer dank, der hohen Orchesterdisziplin ergriffen, aber nicht erschlagen".

"From the austere incisiveness with which the Hamburg-based Ensemble Resonanz attack the Maestoso opening of the Introduction, it is evident this new account ... is going to prove a fine one ... Riccardo Minasi pays due attention to the work's more lingering moments of pathos, yet by invoking period performance articulation and keeping a firm grip on underlying pulse he ensures that the music's on-going intensity is never lost".

"På denne indspilning af Haydns 'Die sieben letzten Worte unseres Erlösers am Kreuze' med det unge hamborgske Ensemble Resonanz ... leder dirigent Ricardo Minasi eliteensemblet, som tæller 18 musikere i lydhør og synkroniseret topform ... Hvad der kendetegner denne indspilning er elegance og balance ... Det er en indspilning fuld af dramatiske kontraster, der for alvor formår at vise Haydns fremsynede musikdramatiske talent".

"In fact the original orchestral score comes out far less often than the solo and chamber versions, so this new recording from Ensemble Resonanz is doubly welcome. First, because of the chance it offers to relish this rairty from Haydn's high maturity as a symphonist. Second, because of the finely nuanced performance it receives ... Minasi's reading scores for its greater tightness of ensemble and a richer sound, stemming from a slightly larger string section ... The Seven Last Words should be in the collection of every Haydn lover. What better opportunity than this?".

"Played on period instruments, the performance itself is expertly motivated by Jordi Savall, achieving a fine blend of solemnity and austerity with intimacy of feeling. The acoustic takes some of the edge off the tone, but this is the ultimate in authentic performance".

Vurdering (performance): 5/5.
