"The new digital recording from Sir John Gielgud is a natural successor to that of his illustrious late colleague and every bit as enjoyable."
(Gramophone)
"The new digital recording from Sir John Gielgud is a natural successor to that of his illustrious late colleague and every bit as enjoyable. It has the advantage of a superb modern recording, with a dramatically wide dynamic range and glowing, sumptuous sound, made in the nicely judged resonance of EMI's Abbey Road No. 1 Studio. Sir John matches Sir Ralph's actor's feeling for the words and relishes their sound as well as their meaning. He immediately sets his personal stamp on the proceedings in the introduction by the use of the older pronunciation of the word clarinet-here it is ''clarionet''-and he also savours the sound of the bassoon. The portrayal of the wolf by the horns makes an ominously bold contrast and the volley of gunfire from the hunters is spectacular."
