of the kind I thought we could hear only in our dreams., though its name goes back to 1955, is essentially Wilson’s creation, made up of top freelance players from around the UK. There’s the leader of the Tippett Quartet and the director of the Britten Sinfonia among the first violins, a former BBC Young Musician of the Year leading the trombones, woodwind principals who make solo recordings… No wonder it sounds good.
In the Rachmaninov, Alim Beisembayev, the 25-year-old winner of the Leeds International Piano Competition, stood in for the ailing Benjamin Grosvenor at two days’ notice with a winning mix of phlegmatic cool and complete virtuoso assurance.
