Awards and reviews

March 2008

Sir Colin Davis paces the sombre orchestral opening with great deliberation, and when the chorus enter the words "on its dark side" are weightily emphasised. The recording is well managed, with a real sense of occasion. But is can’t match the exceptional qualities of Sir Colin's earlier recording, made in 1975, with Jessye Norman and Janet Baker among the soloists.
