Lutoslawski: Orchestral Works 3


�Gardner's control of [the Second], not least its eventual disintegration, is highly compelling...the Cello Concerto receives a superbly concentrated performance here from the soloists Paul Watkins...[Grave] forms a fitting counterbalance to everything else on this disc.� --BBC Music Magazine, February 2013 ****

�With my ideas about the Cello Concerto completely transfixed by Paul Watkins and the BBC Symphony Orchestra...I feel pretty secure in being able to put forward this Chandos version against and above all others.� --MusicWeb International, January 2013



�The characteristic formal diptych of the symphony is superbly enacted.� --Sunday Times, 25th November 2012

�a broad view of Lutoslawki's creative profile, which the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Edward Gardner fleshes out with playing that is as polished as it is animated and alert to the individuality of Lutoslawski's musical vocabulary and mode of expression. Gardner keeps the overall structural span of the Symphony in view...while giving close attention to the localised instrumental combinations and conflicts that lend the music its vibrant personality.� --Gramophone Magazine, December 2012

�This is a wonderful disc, brilliantly delivered by Edward Gardner�s BBC Symphony forces. Few orchestras play this repertoire so well.� --The Arts Desk, 8th December 2012

�The performances continue the highly favourable impression of this series to date, with Gardner securing playing of real immediacy and finesse from a BBC Symphony Orchestra that sounds as fully engaged in the lighter aspects of the composer's music as in its more searching utterances.� --International Record Review, December 2012
