Author: Ivan March
Throughout he is equal to all the fireworks and he produces a horn 'chord' in his cadenza for the first movement of the Gliere. he also favours judicious use of vibrato which is fair enough in Russian and French music, but coupled with the spreading of timbre brought by the spaciously reverberant Leipzig acoustic, his big, broad sound may not appeal to all listeners. The accompaniments have plenty of energy and are finely played. In such a resonant ambience as the Neues Gewandhaus, Leipzig even digital recording cannot produce a sharply focused sound image and the difference between LP and CD is marginal. But, apart from the resounding horn, the balance is rich, full and agreeable.'
