"Following interval, Carter and WASO returned for final work for the evening, Rachmaninov's massive Symphony No 2 in E Minor, Op 27. Again, no surprises here, with Carte eliciting from the orchestra a radiant, magisterial sound and a fluent inevitability in the gear changes that saw strings, winds and percussion contribute to a sonic portrait that less of the old warhorse about it, more of the handsome mare."
