Sound quality seems to be the organising principle of Janowki’s interpretations...Although the WDR Symphony Orchestra may lack the luxe lustre of, say, the Berlin Philharmonic, they play with exceptional tonal refinement throughout – so much so that there’s nary a rough or ugly note in the set, even when one might want a hint of rusticity or edgy intensity…[The Fourth and Eighth symphonies are] not only the plums of this cycle, they stand near the top of a very tall heap of recorded performances.
