What Critics Are Saying:
"Parry beautifully captured its autumnal quality right from the start. He executed the work’s long-breathed phrases with warmth and expressive beauty, alternately turning to communicate with the audience or with his colleagues. Runs, flourishes and high notes posed no problem, and the finale was full of charming dialogue with the orchestra."
