“The great thing about Beecham’s conducting of such pieces as the dances from Samson and Delilah is that he enjoyed himself so enormously and, of course, he had an unbounded ability to make his players enjoy themselves too. Beecham’s genius for dealing with music of this sort is greatly in evidence in this collection and the record provides the most delightful relaxation.” Gramophone Magazine | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

“no one beats Solti for sheer energy. Solti has a style of his own, and the final Entree de Phryne almost goes off the rails with its hard-driven but exciting brilliance...there is no doubting the sheer virtuosity of this remarkable orchestra and their bravura is infectious.” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Witches' Brew
Issued in the US under the title 'Witches' Brew', Alexander Gibson and the New Symphony Orchestra of London recorded this album in 1959 and the performances remain today as characterful and incisive as they were then. While pieces from this recording have previously appeared on Decca, this is its first complete release on the label. Given that the music is a kind of Halloween concoction, it is now filled out on this reissue for CD with two supernatural pieces by Gounod - his Funeral March of a Marionette and the sparkling Ballet Music for Faust, both recorded in 1964 and which have come up sizzlingly well on CD. “Tam O'Shanter Overture is outstanding. It is one of Arnold's most brilliantly entertaining and evocative pieces, full of Scottish devilry, with the macabre humour delectably brought out...A disc well worth seeking out.” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
