The bright, low-fat sound and keen attack remembered under Mackerras have changed little to judge from this new recording of two of Mendelssohn’s symphonies. ... The Symphony No 3, “Scottish”, gets a bracing performance from Emelyanychev, who obtains a leaner sound than one might imagine from the number of players listed in the album booklet. ... In the Symphony No 5, the “Reformation” (actually Mendelssohn’s second symphony, though not published until after his death), the vibrato-free strings lend religious purity and sheer urgency disguises where the music is busy rather than imaginative.
"The players are absolutely in sync with Maxim and what he’s aiming for... The effects are amazing ... They are right in the centre of the music, viscerally with the drama ... I absolutely loved it... I was completely blown away by this disc."
