Reviews
Of course the superb recording helps, but the microphone can’t bring out things that aren’t already there. It’s all beautifully judged, right through to the near-ideal tempo (not hurried but always mobile) for that ghostly, awestruck finale [Symphony No. 6].
This performance by Martin Brabbins and the BBC SO is the equal of any recent performance I have heard. In part this is due to the sophistication and clarity of the recording which allows so many of the attractive details of the score to register. But also Brabbins is very good at allowing the music to unfold in an unforced and good-natured way.
This is a daring movement; it’s a mysterious enigma. Brabbins obtains very withdrawn, sensitive playing from the BBCSO in a performance that is properly other-worldly. I think this is a very fine account of the Sixth.
the eager application and clean-limbed poise displayed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra captured in sound of impressive range, definition and depth. […] and Brabbins’s direction is unfailingly attentive and selfless. […] a strongly recommendable release.Error on this page? Let us know here
