The latest concert of Marc Minkowski and the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican received a five star review by Tim Ashley in the 12 March issue of The Guardian.
Below you can find the highlights of the article and for a full reading please refer to the relevant issue of The Guardian or visit http://www.guardian.co.uk/
“This was a great occasion. Minkowski is as much at home with 18th-century authenticity as with the abrasions and edges of early modernism. The BBCSO were keenly responsive, and the results attained an undemonstrative perfection.”
“In contrast to the thickish string tone favoured by many interpreters, Minkowski brought elements of period fastidiousness to bear on the proceedings without losing sight of the ironies of Stravinsky’s orchestrations.”
“Beautiful, at times intolerably moving, and rarely bettered.”
Tim Ashley
