Reviews
'The recording team has wrought marvels in making the Festival Hall sound warmer and more immediate than it is, enabling the full range and richness of the LPO’s playing to come across. Handley reveals his skill in the way he makes even unfamiliar music sing the first time you hear it, and yet he is not afraid of playing to Arnold’s rhythmic robustness when required.’
Matthew Rye, Daily Telegraph, 30 September 2006
‘These live performances are very committed, and Handley’s skill in sustaining atmosphere and holding elusive structures together is heard at its finest. Excellently balanced sound, too.’
Ivan March, Gramophone Magazine, November 2006
