Awards and reviews

Proms 2007

Coruscating orchestral bite in Muti's Ivan (with the fabulous Ambrosian Chorus) knocks Previn's rough and ready Nevsky into second league, though moments of diaphanous lyricism lift the heart both here and in The Bells. Why is there no translation of the copious Russian narration?
