December 2005

…after hearing just eight bars of this performance of Brahms's Tragic Overture I found myself thinking: 'Thank God, a real conductor again'. …the classy playing of the orchestra, the precisely weighted chords, the natural phrasing, the superb rhythm… Don Juan, a sleek, fiery, exquisitely groomed performance, notable, like the Brahms, for its fluid phrasing, superb rhythm and the perfect arrow-flight of its form. ...Schumann's Second... was a Szell speciality, a serene and fiery reading whose classical contouring will disappoint only those who expect an interpretation to provide footnotes to the psychological problems that darkened the work's making.
