Funereal Fauré and Gounod from Equilbey, accentus and Insula
Gorgeous French music, polished choral singing and excellent soloists are marred by an overwhelmingly dark timbre and unsympathetic video.
A Glyndebourne Dream that works its sinister magic
A strong revival cast, conducted by Dalia Stasevska, demonstrate why Sir Peter Hall's 1981 vintage staging of Britten’s A Midsummer Night's Dream is such a classic.
Ice but not much fire from Hannu Lintu and the BBC Symphony Orchestra
Nothing quite ordinary or indeed comforting here, the heavy mixture of acid colouring in Lindberg, Ustvolskaya and Stravinsky not tempered by any opulence in Rachmaninov.
