Awards and reviews

2011 edition

Hickox's reading of the Fifth Symphony is easily the finest and most penetrating; the slow movement has great depth and, thanks to a magnficent recording, a great clarity than either of its predecessors. Tempi are unerringly judged and he brings depth and gravitas to the very opening of the work.
