Benjamin Zander’s Resurrection Symphony begins…with a clear-etched, finely nuanced funeral march and especially lovely intimations of an other-worldly paradise from cor anglais and oboe…the ever-meaningful, velvet-toned mezzo Sarah Connolly, [is] a real asset…You couldn’t wish for a more floating soprano than Miah Persson…Orchestral quality is never in doubt, with superb Philharmonia contributions including outstanding clarinets and nightingale flute-and-piccolo.
