“[These works] show what a fine musician the conductor was. Perhaps he was too undemonstrative to make a glamorous international career, but the Euryanthe Overture — taut, precise rhythms, translucent woodwind — is outstanding. The same virtues are evident in a lucid, crisply articulated Brahms 4. The first two movements, arguably, lack warmth, but the scherzo is splendidly incisive and the finale, after a surprisingly slow start, generates powerful momentum and builds to an exciting climax.” Sunday Times, 17th August 2008 ***

“First-rate Tippett from the composer's unlikely champion; bracing Brahms, too…” Gramophone Magazine, September 2008
