Bell gives us an impressively ardent reading… in the central slow movement the long, opening oboe solo leads to a magically hushed first entry for the violin, rapt and intense… [Barber] Boris Belkin is a powerful and sensitive artist… I admire the breadth of the first movement, the boldness of his attack, and the marvellously gentle lyricism that pervades the slow movement. [Sibelius] Gramophone
