Lorin Maazel has made a large number of brilliant orchestral recordings for Decca over the years and this programme provides the ideal single-disc showcase for this dynamic conductor.
Maazel's pairing with The Cleveland Orchestra in particular resulted in a partnership of dazzling virtuosity. The three colourful works on this programme show these qualities off to perfection. This performance of Respighi's Roman festivals has been described as a "revelation" and is reason enough, on its own, to buy this disc! Additionally, this recording of the suite from Rimsky-Korsakov's "Le Coq d'or" is released internationally on CD for the first time.
"There really is no point in making comparisons here. Maazel's account of Roman festivals is something of a revelation - by far the finest recordings this work has ever received. The sophistication of the Decca sound picture is really breathtaking and high praise must be given to the recording team (producer Michael Woolcock and balance engineer Kenneth Wilkinson) for the skill and musicality of their balance" Gramophone
