December 2019

The dazzling panache of the LSO’s playing has you wondering all over again at the mesmerising range of options that Adès’s ear and technical command can summon…And Elgar’s Enigma Variations yet again sound as fresh as the day they were written: Rattle conjures a stellar orchestral response in each one, with the camera-work catching the players’ faces as they savour a score that truly offers something for all of them.

November 2019

The Violin Concerto by Harrison Birtwistle deserves a CD release to itself...Tetzlaff gave the first performances, and he continues to own the concerto, as it were, with playing of ferocious accuracy...the Enigma Variations [is] caressed into form with a knowing, 2019 version of the portamento used by the Queen’s Hall Orchestra on the work’s first recording. The ‘EDU’ finale receives an electric account and reception, and the film surely records a sign of things to come
