Description

Grammy Nomination 2014; Gramophone Magazine’s Editor’s Choice; MusicWeb International’s Recording of the Month: ‘[Davis’] last-ever Berlioz recording, demonstrates yet again his unique empathy with and understanding of Berlioz’s music as well as his authority in conducting it.’
Classical Source: ‘Those two concerts in Saint Paul’s were colossal events. I attended the first and have rarely been so moved by the magnificence of stately music superbly rendered … and captured here with remarkable fidelity.’ The Arts Desk: ‘This is an essential purchase – a first-rate reading of a religious work combining entertainment and spiritual uplift.’
