Reviews

It’s hard to imagine a better live performance of this classical masterpiece.

- Classic FM Magazine’s Best Buy

In this thrilling live recording, the music bristles with the excitement of a first encounter, yet one enriched by long experience.

- Sunday Times

The playing of the LSO for their chief conductor is genuinely world-class ... every rhythm is tightly sprung, every climax charged with energy, and the hallucinatory mood of the last two movements grows ever more intense.
