"...One of the greatest recordings of the year... the recorded sound will take your breath away... an audiophile's dream... a performance which would do any orchestra proud, a thoroughly convincing interpretation and one of our greatest Sacres..."

"...One of the most extraordinary discs for some time...has to be heard to be believed...the performance has a blazing intensity that few of its slickly produced studio rivals can match...You could not say you truly know the work without it."
