Guide to the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra

« Oramo put together a performance of extraordinary polish and refinement... The opening tempo was suitably no nonsense, with arresting jabs from the brass and plenty of sprung rhythm from the strings, compelling in its buoyancy... A strong sense of line developed in the dream-like textures of the Andante malincolico and in the Finale Oramo drew a suitably unbuttoned response from his players, the whole capped by a march of magisterial splendour. »
