January 2023

In the ‘Pastoral’, Ax had to contend with some ungrateful writing, notably in accompanying figures, but he is liberated [in Op. 1 No. 3], with trills and passagework sparkling effortlessly in the outer movements, and leading off deft characterisation from all three players in the Andante’s variations.

December 2022

Kavakos, Ma and Ax play with profound sensitivity throughout, and the symphony’s many magical moments lose next to nothing in translation.
