December 2020

March/April 2021
he two big works, Pines of Rome and Fountains of Rome, unfold beautifully, and Chailly’s march up the Via Appia is just slow enough and sufficiently massive to remind you of a real army. Even better are the dark ruminations within. And I have never heard the Passacaglia at the conclusion of Ancient Dances and Airs played more richly.
10th January 2021
The playing throughout could hardly be bettered.
