Kitaenko secures a cultured response from the Cologne orchestra...but his big-boned, plushly upholstered account seldom sparks into inspirational life...There's a fill-up in the shape of an agreeably poised, zestful and pungently characterised Capriccio italien

Overall this performance works because of the wonderful orchestra and lovely sound; as an interpretation I found it overblown.
