    Reviews

    " Barbirolli's famous 1969 version is definitely one of the most splendid, warm-hearted performances ever ever recorded on disc, expansive yet focused in feeling yet concentrated in feeling: the Adagietto is very moving... moving ... A classic version." (The Penguin Guide to Classical Music)
