Remarks:

"...where his earlier interpretations were strongly conceived dramatic readings with plenty of power and panache, his interpretations here are deeply considered, thoroughly tragic readings. Now, Davis' sees clearly that the First, for all its heroic striving, ultimately ends with the death of its symphonic hero, and the Fourth, for all its grim determination, ultimately ends with the death not only of its symphonic hero but also with the death of all the forces of light and hope. This may sound hyperbolic, but as those who know and love the Fourth recognize, it is no more than that which the work's great performances aspire to. With the virtuoso playing of the LSO at his command, Davis' interpretations are darkly pessimistic and brutally honest." -All Music Guide
