Awards and reviews

31st December 2009

These later digital recordings are more refined and detailed than those of the earlier generation, and with three of the world's greatest orchestras...the playing is outstanding.
4 out of 5 stars

1st January 2010

Few conductors have invigorated repertoires with the verve that Pierre Boulez has brought to his interpretations of Stravinsky, compiled here across six CDs...Bristling with energetic innovation... it's an absolute bargain.
5 out of 5 stars

10th January 2010

...some of the greatest works of the 20th century, played by some of their greatest interpreters, led by one of our greatest conductors: need one say more?
