A symphony with poetry, performed with noble feeling --Ft, 03/10/15

This new recording is a revelation for its clarity(notably of the composer's vivid orchestral palette and imaginative choral writing), coherence and sheer emotional intensity. Gramophone,Nov'15 /// Critics Choice --Gramophone,Dec'15

Sir Andrew Davis's performance with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus surpasses Sir Charles Groves's fine 1974 EMI Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra account with urgent tempos , choral singing of full tone and incisive attack, eloquent orchestral playing, with an excellent ,open recording which clearly places Samuel West's moving orator in the acoustic of the Fairfield Halls, Croydon alongside his colleagues. Performance ***** Recording ***** --BBC Music Magazine, Christmas'15
