Awards and reviews
December 2005
The San Francisco Symphony are on top form - oboist William Bennett deserves special praise for his lovely solos in the fourth movement - though in high-lying passages the violins often sound strident… It's in the finale that the new recording wins out, not just for its gleaming brilliance but for its exuberant mischievousness.
June 2014
There's some beautiful playing in the two Nachtmusik movements, and the trumpets in particular are on great form.
