Le Palais des Dégustateurs
Beethoven & Brahms: Orchestral Music
Old-fashioned, perhaps, but big, bold and sometimes surprisingly effective accounts [RMay]
Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition. Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique (Le Palais des Dégustateurs)
A routine Pictures coupled with a crude Symphonie Fantastique [NB]
Mahler: Symphony No 1 (Le Palais des Dégustateurs)
An erratic, unsettling account of a symphony which needs steadier, more coherent governance [RMo]
Dvořák: Symphonies No.7-9; Janáček: Taras Bulba (Le Palais des Dégustateurs)
Performances that rarely justify their re-release or price point [NB]
Liadov: Piano Works (Le Palais des Dégustateurs)
Pleasant piano miniatures very much influenced by Chopin [SB]
Dvořák: Symphonies No.7-9; Janáček: Taras Bulba (Le Palais des Dégustateurs)
Performances from the 1980s full of febrile personality [JW]
Mozart & Schubert: String Quartets (Le Palais des Dégustateurs)
Two accounts that are as fine as any in the catalogue, making a valuable pairing [RMo]
Françaix: L’Apocalypse selon Saint-Jean & Piano Concerto (Le Palais des Dégustateurs)
A stern oratorio coupled with an insouciant concerto [RB]
