Description
“(This) celebrates Tamás Vásáry’s debut on record as a symphonic conductor, and it seems to me a great success….another case of a musician who has made a fruitful transition from piano keyboard to podium, and …he is in firm and confident control of the proceedings. In the introduction of the Scottish Symphony’s first movement the mood is at once positive and purposeful, and the music moves forward with a strong cumulative feeling,.. while the Adagio is adorned by the most tender, lovingly shaped phrasing…..and I was particularly impressed by the excellently managed coda.
