Review by Allan1us November 7, 2005 (6 of 6 found this review helpful)
Performance:  Sonics (MC):
The great Sir Alexander recorded this in 1995 the year of his death and yet the performances have the verve and enthusiasm of a young man in his prime. The brass of the RPO roar out with an excellent rasp and the strings respond with a silky athleticism. 4.5 stars from me for an excellent digital recording.
