PRESS REVIEWS
- “Even for SACD, the sense of space is startling putting a great deal of ‘air’ around the instruments without diminishing the immediacy. Moments like the the First’s opening clarinet solo are beautifully focused.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2008 ***** Recording ****Performance
- “I like the symphony enormously……The finale has wonderful breadth and there is real grandeur in the final paragraphs and no hint of bombast. ” International Record Review, September 2008 (about Symphony no.2 by Sibelius on Exton OVCL 00292)
- “…a refreshing alternative to more granitic interpretations - and a sonic treat for SACD listeners.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2008 **** (about Symphony no.2 by Sibelius on Exton OVCL 00292)
