LSO Live

A good cast and excellent sound are featured on Rattle’s challenge to the Mackerras hegemony [MP]

We seem to observe the tragic events as they might really have happened – no hyperbole, just committed singing [MS]

Best avoided – there are many far superior options [RMo]

Witty, irreverent, lush scores aimed at the kid in all of us [DMD]

A slightly tame 6th coupled with a magnificent 15th [WH]

(Déjà Review) The finest opera CD I have heard this year [MB]

Controversial and underwhelming Bruckner from Rattle [LD]

A patchy Zarathustra and a good Jeux, but you’ll find better performances of both elsewhere [ST]

Rattle’s ‘Romantic’ replete with missed opportunities [LD]

A good performance of the concerto, fatally undermined by completely unsuitable cadenzas [JQ]
