Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, José Serebrier

“…even more impressive is the extraordinarily powerful version of the great C minor Passacaglia and Fugue, here given a thrilling, thrusting performance. The orchestra respond superbly to Serebrier's direction which, as a former pupil of Stokowski, he has based on the maestro's recordings and performances. Starting the sequence is the Air from Suite No 3. Serebrier loyally reproduces the ultra-romantic approach taken by Stokowski, with portamento slides between notes and the broadest possible phrasing and a massive rallentando at the end. It is good that we can now accept such a reading as offering a valid view, representing its period. The result is lusciously beautiful, with the Bournemouth strings wonderfully refined.” Gramophone Magazine, November 2006
