Rezensionen
‘…the panache of Wallfisch’s playing comes over the more forcefully, and the tenderness of the slow movement is reinforced to at a more spacious speed.’ Gramophone
‘Finzi’s Cello Concerto is perhaps the most searching of all his works. Wallfisch finds all the dark eloquence of the central movement, and the performance overall has splendid impetus, with Handley providing the most sympathetic backing. The Chandos recording has an attractively natural balance.’ The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs
‘The symphony is in part a song-cycle, and its glowing, radiant colours and refined textures are immediately winning. Raphael Wallfisch plays the Concerto as if his life depended on it, and the Symphony draws every bit as much dedication from its performers. The recording is very immediate, and has stunning clarity and definition.’ The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs
