1The Staatskapelle Berlin, keenly directed throughout by Ido Arad, did not put a foot wrong, evoking, somewhat to my surprise, a sound not so distant from that of Neville Marriner’s vintage Academy of St Martin in the Fields. Bright, precise, and likewise with pinpoint timing, here was another crucial dimension never to be reduced to anything else, yet likewise never approaching abstraction. The aesthetics, then, were as ‘right’ as the execution.

Derek Welton gave the murderous St Bris appropriately lugubrious tones.
Höchste Kompetenz und unermüdlicher Wohlklang [kam] auch von Derek Welton (Saint-Bris)
