This recording is among my all time favourites, it is beautifully recorded, sung and orchestrated. Ms Upshaw has a beautiful voice and, to me, she is a natural for this Symphony, it is absolutely lovely.
I play the CD every night prior to going to bed in order to relax me and my eyes, after too many hours sorting images on a computer. Unfortunately I live in a flat so cannot play as loud as I would like, maybe that's for the best, but the CD does help in clearing my mind.
Could not live without it.
