Orchestra: London Mozart Players

Conductor: Matthias Bamert

26 & 27 October 2006

As ever in their Contemporaries of Mozart series, Matthis bamert and the LMP give carefully prepared, well paced performances, rhythmically lively without falling into autopilot, and balancing polish with a down-to-earth directness crucial to Marsh’s music. Among a clutch of expert soloists, the horns deserve a tip pf the hat for their brave braying in the brief ’hunting’ symphony, No 7. The recording made in St Jude-on-the-Hill in north London, has an attractive bloom.

Gramophone

In sum then, this music radiates the optimistic and hedonistic spirit of the age, and the polished London Mozart Players have never sounded as though they are having so much fun. Utterly irresistible, and guaranteed to put a spring in your step, put thecolour back in your cheeks and blow the winter cobwebs away.

International Record Review

As always in this series, the London Mozart Players under Matthais Bamert provide impeccably stylish performances.

BBC Music Magazine

One who hasn’t heard Marsh’s work before will surely be impressed by this. The playing is as fine as one could wish, and the Chandos recording – and notes – are both superb.

American Record Guide

It is all played with customary flare and elegance by the London Mozart players. They display an obvious relish for these works, and clearly enjoy the opportunities Marsh presents to strut their stuff individually… The pulse of his conducting is fluid but disciplined, and he pays close attention to matters of texture that can achieve rare importance at time in these almost chamber-like symphonies This definately rates a strong recommendation.

Fanfare

This CD reflects great credit on the London Mozart Players and conductor Matthias Bamert. The sound quality is superb.
