Berg: Violin Concerto, Three Pieces for Orchestra
RecommendedJames Ehnes (violin)
BBC Symphony Orchestra, Sir Andrew Davis

Nielsen: Flute Concerto, Symphony No. 3, Pan and Syrinx Adam Walker (flute), Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, Edward Gardner
Gardner’s Third has a great deal going for it and you might say that his objectivity gives the piece free rein to sing its pantheistic hymn to the great outdoors. — More…

Copland: Orchestral Works Volume 4
RecommendedSymphony No. 3, Letter from Home, Down a Country Lane & Connotations
BBC Philharmonic, John Wilson
Sonically, the Chandos recording [of the Symphony] has enormous impact…But the interpretation itself is too soft-grained and often oddly tentative…Wilson and the orchestra are far more successful... — More…

BBC Singers, City of London Sinfonia, Richard Hickox
The Pears/Bedford version tends to emphasise the opera's elegiac side… The Chandos… is certainly not lacking in depth. But it also has an incisive clarity matching Richard Hickox's generally... — More…
