Review If you like your Walton unleashed at full and scalding voltage, look no further. The LSO s trademark virtuosity and panache are so great, and the players unravelling of Walton s demanding part-writing in the First Symphony so clear, that their performance penetrates straight to the heart of the music --BBC Music Magazine (UK) **** Prise de son homogène, dynamique, bien définie Sir Colin en signe une des meilleures versions modernes... une approche qui le démarque nettement de la plupart de ses confrères... profondément originale, avec un orchestre au meilleur de sa forme --Classica (France) 'Sir Colin and his LSO forces are in sizzling form in this truly revolutionary take on the often turgid oratorio form' --Limelight Magazine (Australia) Belshazzar s Feast manages both to be unusually operatic in its approach and also essentially symphonic, which can make it a tricky balancing act. Sir Colin Davis demonstrates his understanding of this conundrum in these concert performances in 2008 with Baritone Peter Coleman-Wright in commanding form, and full-blooded commitment from the LSO & LSC ... a gripping performance, only slightly softened by the balance in the Barbican. It s coupled with Symphony No 1, and that s brilliantly played as well --BBC Radio 3 CD Review
