"... a modern version that sports state-of-the-art sonics, high-gloss virtuosity and intelligently brisk but unfrenetic pacing; you could do no better than this engrossing reading ... (this recording) has generated no small buzz on the Net and no doubt this will continue. This disc will provide hours of listening pleasure and if you have a small stack of discs you use for testing audio equipment, I would consider making this an addition."
