“Under the helm of Francis, by contrast, beauty and truthfulness shine from these movements which show Haydn at the peak of his proficiency. He doesn’t polish, doesn’t impose anything on the MDR sound bodies but lets the meditations unfold their serene perfection all by themselves…
With stylistic confidence and watertight craftsmanship the marvelous conductor demonstrates the potential of MDR orchestra, hopefully he’ll return soon.”
