*****
“This immensely grand, exciting account of the First Symphony… is a truly passionate reading, not only majestic at the biggest moments but much of the time swift-winged, living on its nerves. The two Berlioz overtures are equally magnificently done, the Lear profound in its pathos, the Béatrice full of quicksilver energy.”

“The sound of the Dresden orchestra reconnects Elgar more powerfully with the European romantic tradition, and it's a wonderful performance, sweeping majestically ahead, adrenaline pumping, before glancing behind in those wistfully nostalgic moments that pepper the score.”
