Reviews

October 2018

A vivid live recording of the perennial classic, let down a little by the narration. Though not without nuance, it’s borderline hollered in places.

Awards Issue 2018

It’s compelling and virtuoso, if very austere. Given its rhythmic complexity, performing the work without a conductor can be tricky, but the ensemble is superbly taut here, exacting yet fierce in its precision and clarity…There’s a comparable sharpness of focus to Sinclair’s narration, too, where the satirical element is strongly to the fore.

Classical Music August 2018

This is a terrific performance that grips the listener from first to last. The frisson of it being recorded live helps immeasurably, coupled with the razor-edge precision of the LSO Chamber Ensemble, directed from the violin by Roman Simovic. The playing is often very dry – perfect for Stravinsky’s score. Malcom Sinclair’s narration succeeds in its variety of timbre and, indeed, regional accents. The recording (Jerwood Hall) is remarkably present. Recommended.
