Reviews

These are all most persuasive performances superbly played. The Penguin Guide - 1000 Greatest Classical Recordings 2011-12

If you like Szymanowski’s violin concertos (composed in 1916 and 1932), you’ll be drawn to Scott’s, especially in this warm. Lingering, airy performance where the dark orchestral colours comer through clearly; its treble textures are transparent as well. Charlier caresses the piece with atmospheric touches of rubato as Brabbins elicits superb playing from the orchestra.

American Record Guide

Brabbins directs sympathetic and characterful performances.., well worth any British music-lovers time.

BBC Music Magazine on Volume 2 CHAN 10376

This release represents a remarkable discovery in 20th-century British music: excellent recording, too.

Gramophone on Volume 1 CHAN 10211 CHAN 10407

These are again fine performances and recordings

Gramophone

For anyone so far unfamiliar with Scott’s music, this current issue would be an ideal place to start. The performances seem exemplary, the superb BBC Philharmonic convinced and convincing under Martyn Brabbins’s expert guidance. The recording quality is equally top-drawer in its focus and space and in faithfully capturing every detail, subtlety and dynamic.

International Record Review

The latest instalment from Chandos continues to acquaint us with sadly unfamiliar delights – especially Scott’s one-movement Violin Concerto, forgotten since the 1029s… Definitely recommended.

BBC Music Magazine

If anything, Martyn Brabbins seems to have acquired the measure oft his music even more convincingly that his two previous recordings of the Third and Fourth Symphonies. Violin soloist Olivier Charlier offers a very penetrating account of the concerto’s non-virtuosic subtleties. And what can one add in praise of Chandos’ state-of-the-art sonics?…this disc is worth engaging and revisiting many times over.

Fanfare (USA)

This is fabulous, rich music in the vein of VW, Bax and others in the line of British tradition. Glorious recording. I can only hope Chandos put out the Handley Bax symphonies and their magnificent Gunning recording at 24/96.
