Antole Fistoulari conducts the Royal Opera House Orchestra, Covent Garden
Favorite Recordings of 2011 Picked by Classical Candor
"The disc displays an excellent high-end range and extension; strong, deep bass; and exemplary midrange transparency. Additionally, one notices a modest degree of orchestra depth and superb transient response, very quick, with sometimes extraordinary impact. Despite the age of the recording, the sonics are extremely good and easily surpass probably ninety percent of what most record companies make today."

"A wonderful sounding recording of charmingly beautiful music. The high percussion is amazingly clear, extended, and has lots of impact! The overall sound is beautiful. I like the Royal Opera House Orchestra's performance of Walton's Façade Suite much better than Chicago Pro Musica's on Reference Recordings and I think in most areas this even sounds better than my 180 Gram Classic Records version especially at the frequency extremes"
...At any rate this will replace my LP version as overall I prefer the sonics of the 24/96 DVD, it will always sound as great as it does now, and it is much easier to play. I highly recommend this wonderful recording!"
