"This superb new disc...Woods directs
a highly polished account but the
orchestral playing throughout is most
assured. Avie’s sound is excellent but it
is the music that compels attention.
Strongly recommended."
The Gramophone
"RECORDING OF THE FORTNIGHT"
Classical Music Magazine
"Woods phrases with distinction, and
aims for clarity in Gál’s contrapuntal
textures... plus the kind of open-
hearted warmth this soaring music
requires to make its case."
FANFARE Magazine
"A real treat....perceptively fluid....
warm and supportive sound...
committed performances"
The Strad
"The performances and the recording
are of a consistently high standard.
The Northern Sinfonia …… are
probably better than anything he ever
heard in this country. But most
importantly, both orchestra and
conductor Kenneth Woods are
sensitive to the lightness of the
textures and always elegantly balance
the soloist."
Classical CD Reviews
"A splendid CD which should give
pleasure and satisfaction to collectors
and which deserves to feature on radio
programmes everywhere."
Musical Pointers
"Such transparent and highly-crafted
scores are given superbly prepared
performances... playing here is first-
class, so too the quick-witted response
of Northern Sinfonia under Kenneth
Woods."
