Reviews

Barbirolli's famous recording of English string music (the Elegy and Sospiri were added later) might be considered the finest of all his records, and it remained in the catalogue at full price for over three and a half decades. ... the current remastering... [loses] nothing, combining bite and excellent inner definition with the fullest sonority.
