Stravinsky:
'The shrill opening woodwind call to attention, answered by warm-toned low chordal brass, set the scene and the angular oboe solo, circling flute and clarinet lines and final mournful chorale were delivered with captivating precision'.

Shostakovich Symphony No. 1:
'Nelsons and the BSO gave us razor sharp precision, and great energy, with some impressive solo work from principal players'.

Shostakovich Tahiti Trot:
'Nelsons and the BSO gave it a pleasingly delicate touch'.

Rapoport:
'An engaging performance of an intriguing miniature'.
