"energetically played, vividly recorded " (Fanfare)
'Gibson's collection of overtures offers a convenient package, energetically played, vividly recorded in solid (but not bass-heavy) sound, and produced with the kind of care we have come to expect from Chandos.'
Fanfare
'Many will immediately respond to the brilliance and sheer impact of the sound in Gibson's collection of overtures.'
Gramophone
This recording of Elgar's overtures conducted by Sir Alexander Gibson is a favourite amongst collectors.
The programme, which juxtaposes Elgar's best-loved overtures with the less well-known Froissart and Overture in D minor, is unique in the current catalogue.
This recording was one of Chandos' early and spectacular digital successes, recorded during the heyday of the collaboration between the Scottish National Orchestra and Sir Alexander Gibson.
