GRAMOPHONE CRITICS' CHOICE


'Surely about the most imposing symphonic cycle in progress by any living composer … the involvement and sweep of the performances are thrilling' (The Independent)

'The Sixth is a work of immense power, and if the Seventh is a more cryptic statement this recording certainly brings it into clearer focus than before' (Gramophone)
