Gražinytė-Tyla delivers a warm, gleaming, uplifting performance, with just the right sort of elision in the annunciatory brass and satisfying ritards as the climaxes resolve. DG’s sound is open and beautiful.

This purely digital release – a growing trend – gives notice of a two-CD release (scheduled for March next year) entitled ‘The British Project’.As teasers go, Britten’s Sinfonia da Requiem is a banger...The CBSO throw it off with all due virtuosity and sonically the DG engineering is exceptional. ‘The British Project’ is go.
