"Elder conducts the standard revision of the score, as published in the 1930s, rather than going back to the original 1913 version Richard Hickox rehabilitated and recorded, and he handles its mix of the pictorial with the tragic as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Both the introduction to the first movement and the introspective slow movement are beautifully judged by Elder and the Hallé string, while the deftness with which he touches the detail of the rather discursive scherzo shows masterly tact."
- Andrew Clements, The Guardian
Sir Mark Elder leads the excellent Hallé ensemble in the first instalment of his English music series. The Hallé play this introspective symphony with mastery and deftness, and the Concerto in A minor for Oboe and Strings is beautifully realized by soloist Stéphane Rancourt.
