Awards and reviews
Abbado's outstanding Decca Scottish Symphony is beautifully played and the LSO responds to his direction with the greatest delicacy of feeling, while the Italian Symphony has a comparable lightness of touch, matched with lyrical warmth. The vintage 1968 Kingsway Hall recording is freshly detailed yet full, with glowing wind colour.
