“Järvi’s performances on his two Busoni collections are the most consistently sympathetic I’ve heard in some years and they’re sure – not least because of the series’ comprehensiveness – to enhance Busoni’s reputation as an orchestral composer.” - Gramophone “the playing of the BBC Philharmonic under Neeme Järvi is altogether warmer and serves the music with a conviction that makes the Chandos disc a winner and strikes a fine blow for the Busoni cause.” - MusicWeb International “Rarely have Busoni’s orchestral works been animated with such grasp, interpretive authority, and sheer executive brilliance… Maestro Järvi achieves this on occasion, rendering notes into spirit on the crest of playing that is never less than virtuosic, and it makes all the difference between hearing Busoni as a quaint footnote, a curiosity in the unfolding of Modernism, and one of its most distinctive voices—one of its makers.” - Fanfare Originally released in the early 2000s, these two volumes of orchestral music by Ferruccio Busoni showcase excellent performances by Neeme Järvi, conducting the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. Acclaimed upon their initial release, these are still some of the best recordings of Busoni’s orchestral works to date.
