Begutachtung:
 

“Soprano Lisa Delan evocatively recreates the role of Joan in a moving account that goes some way to prove you can’t beat a good old fashioned burning at the stake to get the adrenalin flowing”.
HiFi+magazine

"With his 21-minute cantata Joan and the Bells, Gordon Getty has created a highly dramatic masterwork. [The music] wraps around, enhances, and accents the strong text. [In the third part] the firm, excellent chorus… turns the scene of the burning into a highly poetic, exhilarating, triumphal climax."
American Record Guide (December 2003)

"Gordon Getty has produced one of the most dramatic, exciting and tautly constructed tone poems it has been my pleasure to hear for a long time. The forces are large as befits the subject and the listener is gathered up and swept into the turmoil of Joan's final trial and execution for which Getty emphasises her inner tension and the pride of her faith in her voices, his scoring for chorus particularly effective in the final pages when the Saints urge Joan's spirit to join them. Joan's soliloquy as she awaits her execution is dramatically and movingly sung by Lisa Delan, whom I would like to hear on the opera stage, while Vladimir Chernov provides a sinister Prosecutor. The Russian National Orchestra under Alexander Vedernikov are on good form and project Getty's virile score with enthusiasm. The recording quality is excellent."
