Reviews

Beecham's account still enjoys classic status and has a demonic intensity that is immediately compelling and holds the listener on the seat-edge until the work's electrifying close. [...] This is an indispensable record, made the more so for a tinglingly atmospheric account of the Royal Hunt and Storm (with chorus) and the classic account of the Corsaire Overture.
