Reviews

‘Perhaps the most joyful and characterful traversal of the score I've heard on record: it's light on its feet, it casts spells in all the right places, the solo set pieces are splendidly sung. But it's the sense of ensemble that carries it along so successfully; also a very well-made recording’ (BBC Record Review)
