'His incisive virtuosity brought a moving intensity'.
'Kavakos’ effortless cadenza passages, with a tolling solo line combined with fiendish left hand pizzicato, was captured well by close-up camerawork and his lament, joined by the bassoons, was heartrending'.

'Rattle’s Andante (often taken too slowly) had energy, yet it didn’t feel rushed'.
'Through the endless stream of Schubert’s ideas, Rattle maintained the momentum, driving through with the racing strings to blazing trumpets and a glorious finish'.
