Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Sir Charles Mackerras

“Mackerras's performance is as thrilling as one would expect from this great Mozart conductor.” Sunday Times

“Mackerras doesn't short-change us on the tenderness and often painful lyricism… nor is he afraid to relax the tempo as a festive or belligerent motif gives way to a gentler one, with the strings… ravishing us with their tone.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 *****

“…rarely will you hear such well judged orchestral balance, such effective marrying of textural transparency an substance. The Jupiter in particular has a wonderful bright grandeur, yet reveals details in the brilliant contrapuntal kaleidoscope of the finale that too often go unheard.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2008
