“Any view of Shostakovich is seriously incomplete without knowledge of Mravinsky's recordings. It was he who premiered Symphonies Nos. 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 and although relations between composer and conductor cooled markedly in later years, for reasons not fully explained, the authority of the performances is undiminished…” Gramophone Magazine | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Mozart - Wind Concertos
“Gottfried von der Goltz, a very talented conductor, clear-sightedly balances his sharp-witted period instrument forces… Mostly, von der Goltz adapts to individual interpretations without sacrificing his own strengths; and they scintillate in his partnership with Teunis Van der Zwart whose brazen tones, piquant stopped notes and swaggering gait in the horn concertos are irresistible.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2007 “Van der Zwart responds with great humour and technical panache to these good-natured works. (He is especially amusing exploiting the flatulence of extreme low notes in the first-movement cadenza of No 4.)…
Von der Goltz's robust, earthy way with Mozart, bringing this music out of the salon and into the open air, sets the seal on this outstanding issue.” Sunday Times Classical CD of the Week “Van der Zwart's supreme agility makes the added technical challenges of using that instrument hardly relevant, and the whole performance has a lightness of touch and an athletic exuberance that are totally convincing.” The Guardian | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Mozart & Schumann: Piano Concertos
“Evgeny Kissin: truly one of the elite” Gramophone Magazine “Evgeny Kissin provides a very individual yet compelling view of Mozart's C minor Concerto. Kissin is not afraid to use the full dynamic range and tonal colouring of the modern piano, yet manages to make any slight fluctuation in tempo sound entirely natural and unmannered. Kissin recorded the Schumann Concerto with Giulini and the Vienna Philharmonic on Sony in the early 1990s, but this performance seems far more musically involving, Davis and the LSO responding with incisiveness to the many passages where piano and orchestra share the musical dialogue.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2007 *****  BBC Music Magazine
