CD Reviews

Excellent interpretations, disappointing sound

09/05/1999

(4 out of 5 stars)

"These are all very well played, personal interpretations, both by Leaper and Wit. Hightlights include no.1, where the Polish strings carry the tunes with tremendous security and aplomb and no.3 where Wit almost convinces me that this is a great symphony when it's usually regarded as the weakest of the six. The only snag is the recorded sound which is just a little bit on the cavernous side, not registering all the details."
