This is a very fine performance that is well paced. The VPO play magnificently, with wonderful sounds emanating from the strings and the brass. Thieleman’s vision of the work is sound and it is carried off very well I thought.

^^ I think Dave is studiously ignoring our rude comments, Fergus... ;-))

Nice to see you've got the Solti Mahler set, Dave... a wonderful achievement imho...

Fergus, I see you're playing 'our tune'... one of your favourites and indeed mine (based on my Avatar!)

It has been a very very long time since I've listened to this. Vivaldi's finest?
