BBC Orchestral Choice Performance ***** Recording ***** Frank Shipway moulds his strings to suit every occasion I’d be very happy to hear more Strauss from this remarkable team. David Nice - BBC Music magazine - March 2013

Artistic quality 10 Sound Quality 10 All are well worth hearing—and repeating. Highly recommended. David Vernier - ClassicsToday.com - January 2013

"Very highly recommended! Jean-Yves Duperron - Classical Musical Sentinel - November 2012

" I don’t know of a more exciting account on disc. BIS’s engineers lay it all out in cinemascopic splendour Edward Seckerson - Gramophone magazine - January 2013

"This is remarkably intelligent coupling it enhances a particularly interesting, not to say important, release Shipway, whose reputation in the opera houses of Europe and elsewhere is of the highest, clearly understands the background to, and nature of, this orchestral fantasy and he inspires his players to give a fully committed account of a technically very difficult score. The Sao Paulo Orchestra responds admirably to the composer’s demands, with a fine woodwind section of notable clarity and expressive quality. This is a very difficult score to bring off satisfactorily Shipway succeeds totally, and the result is a disc of more than uncommon interest and value which I recommend unreservedly.
