Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

"Christie's direction throughout is fleet and unaffected, with a natural rhythmic exuberance (even when a tempo seems on the edge of the possible, as in 'Stimmt an die Saiten', the effect is always exhilarating, never driven), and an unerring ear for Haydn's miraculous orchestral detail....Christie's inspiriting performance...is arguably the best played of the lot."

Gramophone

"The choral work...is despatched with clean-edged skill and authority, and the sound quality is fresh and immediate in a highly responsive acoustic."
