Awards Issue 2012
Altogether this is a splendidly played coupling with wonderfully idiomatic understanding by the Gurzenich Orchestra, so sensitively conducted by Dmitri Kitaenko; his account of the symphony's Adagio is very moving, as is the central movement of the Snow Maiden music. A disc not to be missed on any account.
