The Glyndebourne Chorus & The London Philharmonic Orchestra, Vladimir Jurowski

‘Vladimir Jurowski gives the bottle a good shake before popping his first cork with the overture. The London Philharmonic are on their toes… The pace is racy, the articulation brilliant, the Viennesisms deftly in place, the waltz fruity and uplifting. It's a cracking start.’ The Independent
