BBC Philharmonic, Vassily Sinaisky  

"...The playing of the BBC Philharmonic under Sinaisky is superb and the recording is in the demonstration class. Intelligent liner notes."

The Penguin Guide - 1000 Greatest Classical Recordings 2011-12

‘Sumptuous late-Romantic music performed with tremendous passion and intensity by Sinaisky and the BBC Philharmonic in resplendent Chandos sound. More than any previous interpreters, Sinaisky succeeds in harnessing the ebb and flow of Schreker’s musical invention with greater conviction, finally persuading the sceptics that this composer deserves serious consideration alongside his Viennese contemporaries Schoenberg, Zemlinsky and Berg.’

BBC Music Magazine Critic’s Choice on CHAN 9797

'As I have said the playing of the BBC Philharmonic under Sinaisky is superb and the recording is in the demonstration class'.

International Record Review

‘The BBC Philharmonic’s playing is warmly expansive, and the recording captures every nuance of the ever changing textures.’
