Just got hold of Masada String Trio (50th anniversary vol.1) and I'm delighted to say that, although the Tzadik rhetoric is no longer to be relied on, this release is everything that's claimed - and more! The fact that it opens with my two favourite Masada tunes obviously helps, but the playing throughout is inspired and yes, "breathtaking". (The packaging is great too - I much prefer digipacks to jewel cases, but each to his/her own!) Could anyone who was there on the night say what Zorn's input as conductor actually amounted to?
