Notes and Editorial Reviews
"The recording, made in the Poole Arts Centre in Dorset, is warm and open... Litton's relatively slow speeds in the first movement [of the Fourth Symphony] go with commendably crisp ensemble...[and] his sympathetic ability to relax helps to point the structural contrasts... His athletic reading of the finale similarly brings a tenderly expressive contrast in the folk-song second subject. The Serenade for strings is warm and resonant. The Bournemouth violins are not always ideally sweet, but there is ample compensation in the lyrical richness that Litton brings out and the resonance of the full string tone in the slow introduction and the third movement 'Elegie'..." -- Edward Greenfield, Gramophone [2/1990]
