This week, we focus on...
Sinfonia of London
In its relatively short existence, this regular gathering of some of the finest orchestral players under the visionary leadership of conductor John Wilson (and with brilliant support from Chandos) has injected an invigorating energy into orchestral studio recordings. Whether in an ongoing survey of music by Kenneth Fuchs (most recently Vol 2, 7/24), carefully curated and brilliantly performed programmes featuring Lennox Berkeley, Adam Pounds and Ravel (2/24) and Bacewicz, Enescu and Ysaÿe (4/24), or an Oklahoma! that is infused with devotion in every bar (10/23), this orchestra shines brightly, album after album.
