A faithful and efficient offering of Beethoven (...) A must-listen!

This recording is not just another Beethoven.

The musicians have a terrific time, expertly led by a Benjamin Levy who is as attentive to the stage as to the subtle colours of this quirky Offenbach.

Phrasing, very little vibrato, an unbelievable energy.

The music rings out here in the full force of its orchestration and brilliant and enraptured harmonies, as it should always be.

This is a well-balanced program that shows Gatto’s and Levy’s excellent taste and superb musicianship.

Forget the reputations of maestros with their dictatorial tendencies and triple XL egos.

A magnificent evening… An exceptional dialogue between the orchestra and the solo violin Lorenzo Gatto.

Overflowing with sparkle and energy, a smile from ear to ear…

A fantastic recording by an orchestra full of character which explodes in the Overture and is the landscape for the Concerto and the Romances.
