COMPLETE SYMPHONIES

Reviews of previously released performances included in this set:

Casella: Symphony No. 1



The performances are exemplary. The symphony seethes with tension and excitement, while the shattering Elegia is one of the composer's greatest works. Highly recommended.

– Gramophone

Casella: Symphony No. 2

A stunning first recording of the Second Symphony, written just a few years (1908–10) after the First. Among its notable incidental virtues is an irresistibly tuneful scherzo cast in a tarantella-like mode that foreshadows important elements in Casella’s later development.

– Fanfare

Casella: Symphony No. 3

The conductor makes much of the vastly proportioned work’s orchestral panoply. The musicians’ energy and sensitivity, and the brilliant Chandos sound make for a most welcome disc.
