Gramophone's Top Choice: Mackerras's Mozart
Find out why Gramophone named Sir Charles Mackerras's recording of Symphony No. 40 as its top choice
Robin Ticciati's landmark recording with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra has been chosen by BBC Music Magazine as November's Orchestral ‘Choice'. Here's just a few snippets from this double five star review:
Performance / Recording
‘The Adagio of Symphony No. 2, that most achingly nostalgic of all Schumann's symphonic slow movements, is beautifully done, with a coda that really tugs at the heartstrings; and the famous ‘Cologne Cathedral' movement from the Rhenish Symphony No. 3 is impressive.
No one could accuse the interpretations of being short on personality, and they will reward repeated hearing.'
