Andrew DavisAbout
“Andrew Davis’s formidable Tippettian credentials shine through in every bar of this outstanding British Line anthology from Teldec” – Gramophone
“These are four of the best Elgar performances on disc available. First, the recording is superb, with near-perfect balance and a really natural sound. Second, the playing of the BBC Symphony Orchestra is first rate. Andrew Davis's conducting of all four works is inspired” – Gramophone
“As digital Falstaffs go, Sir Andrew Davis's 1995 account with the BBC SO remains arguably the front-runner.” – Gramophone
“Davis has the key to this [Vaughan Williams] symphony’s combination of mystery, menace and qualified optimism” – The Sunday Telegraph
“With sumptuous sound, this is easily the best "modern" version [of Vaughan Williams’ Symphony No.6] in the catalogue” – Gramophone
“An exceptionally insightful account of the [Enigma] Variations” – Gramophone
