Cast/ Philharmonia/Sawallisch

“Ormandy & his Philadelphians have just the right panache to bring off this wildly exuberant picture of the Middle Ages…and there is no more enjoyable analogue version… tremendous vigour, warmth, and colour and a genial spontaneous enthusiasm from the Rutgers University choristers…is irresistible. Soloists are excellent…Choir and Orchestra steal the show.. Quite splendid…one of Ormandy’s most inspired recordings…exhilarating” (Penguin Guide rosette)
