Presto Chart,
The Presto Chart - June 2023
Alpesh Chauhan's debut recording on Chandos with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra was our best-selling title of last month - featuring Francesca da Rimini, The Voyevoda and The Tempest (plus the Overture & Polonaise from the comic opera Cherevichki), the album was our Recording of the Week at the beginning of June thanks to the young British conductor's combination of 'passion and precision' and his ability to 'wring maximum tension from each score'.
