'Capuçon was highly convincing, confidently supported by Eötvös and the BBCSO'.

'The BBCSO players were on strong form throughout, with a rich string sound in particular'.

'Eötvös also paced the frequent tempi changes here with great care'.

'Capuçon’s performance was captivatingly mobile and physical'.
