Maxim Emelyanychev & SCO - Mendelssohn Symphonies - Financial Times

The Symphony No 3, “Scottish”, gets a bracing performance from Emelyanychev ... His energy drives the symphony along, ensuring a fierce storm sequence, a keen clip to the Scottish dance rhythms and a less bloated, pompous coda at the end than usual ... It will be very good to have the other symphonies when Emelyanychev and the SCO are ready.
