Reviews
'Choral articulation, exposed by the immediate recording, is practically perfect.' (4 stars)
Mark Valencia, Sinfini.com, 4 April 2014
'A blistering rendition ... a worthy addition to the discography.'
Gavin Engelbrecht, The Northern Echo, 27 February 2014
'This is a superb issue; it captures afresh the sheer exuberance and colour of this over-performed work ... it's a recording of a live concert, and it made me feel "I so wish I'd been there"; what greater praise can there be?'
Gwyn Parry-Jones, Music Web International, April 2014
'Superlative playing.'
Malcolm Riley, Gramophone, May 2014
'The orchestra is the star here: Graf secures characterful electrifying playing from the LPO.' (4 stars)
Classical Music Magazine, May 2014
‘Hans Graf’s brisk reading restores Orff’s ambiguous masterpiece to the ranks of 20th-century shockers, works that still retain an element of raw surprise … It’s bracing.’
Brian Morton, Choir & Organ, May/June 2014
