Noseda’s vision of the work comes into its own as aggression gradually subsides into the funereal thud of the drum. The account of the consoling finale is one of the most intensely moving on disc

The Telegraph

This new performance surpasses Rattle II in emotional intensity and sound quality; 10ths by Inbal, Chailly, and Michael Gielen, as well as rattle I, have their strengths, but I have no reservations in suggesting that Noseda’s performance is superior. Anyone looking for a first-rate recording of Deryck Cooke’s Mahler 10 need look no further.

Fanfare

Noseda conducts an impassioned performance… and heeds Matthew’s observation that Mahler’s orchestra is huge for instrumental clarity rather than volume.

Sunday Times

The first song speaks of ‘anger’ and ‘trouble’, and there’s plenty of both in Mark Padmore’s performance… However, there’s more to Padmore’s performance: fine tone, a strong sense of pitch, crystal clear enunciation and a wonderful feeling for long lines. The members of the Schubert ensemble make superb musical partners here, and then make the strongest case yet for the earlier Piano Quintet.

BBC Music Magazine ‘Choice’

In terms of playing and recording, this is probably the orchestra’s finest collaboration yet with Chandos, while David Matthew’s note is as authoritative an introduction as could be wished.

International Record Review

I find the sound here (so impotant in Mahler) to be much superior to that from Berlin, and with tempi roughly comparable to those of Rattle, it puts this disc on level pegging as a recommendation.

Liverpool Daily Post

When I heard this orchestra and conductor perform this work in public, I thought it was the finest account yet of Deryck Cooke’s wondrous performing edition. This recording confirms me in my opinion. Gianandrea Noseda obtains superlative orchestral playing, which is captured by the excellent recording, and the symphony’s hypnotic power is projected with the surest of touches. The scherzos are especially well characterised and the interpretation of the devastating finale is – well, devastating. David Matthew’s booklet essay is required reading.

Sunday Telegraph

Excellent performance and the sound quality was superb. Agree entirely with J Wilson

I was surprised at the intensity of this performance following the lukewarm Gramophone review (mind you, Gramophone these days...) But I purchased the 24/96 download which may have made the difference - extraordinary depth, power and beauty of sound with a true Mahlerian 'palette' of orchestral colour. I have for comparison the CDs of Gielen, Rattle/BPO and Sanderling. Noseda is closest to the excellent, 'objective' style of Gielen but more intense and even better sound with 24/96. The finest live performance I ever heard was Chailly at last years' Proms, on disc I would incline to Sanderling, but as a High-Res download you must hear this!
