June 2020

Performances that have bags of charm and sound as authentically French as one could wish. The Symphony in C sounds marvellously fresh and new-minted here. Leleux carefully calibrates the balance between energy and grace, so that everything seems perfectly proportioned and nothing is rushed or heavy-footed...A hugely enjoyable disc.

23rd February 2020

Here’s a real gem...Leleux leads the SCO’s crack wind soloists in a sprightly account of the Gounod and has a delicious way with the Bizet pieces: few recorded performances have delivered such an ideal balance between winds and strings, and such Terpsichorean joie de vivre.
