Notes and Editorial Reviews
The Haydn brings a range of magic colourings coupled with magnificent bravura that in its imagination defies any academic rules of style or authenticity.

Whatever objections one might make in principle to the balance of the soloist, the warmth and vividness of sound—of the orchestras as well—is what matters in preserving the impact of a unique artist with startling freshness at full involvement.
