	English Classical Players - UK Chamber Orchestra
		A group of some of London's finest musicians, it has become one of the leading chamber orchestras and toured widely, thrilling audiences with the special combination of inspiration and virtuosity which is the feature of all their performances.
		The orchestra produces an authentic and exciting sound by maintaining a string strength akin to that of the early 19th century orchestras and adopting a traditional seating arrangement; this enhances the orchestral balance and gives clarity and brilliance to the texture.
		Specialising in the music of the classical period, the orchestra has been featured on BBC Radio 3 and is often heard on Classic FM under its regular conductor Jonathan Brett and leader Alison Kelly.

		But for listeners unfamiliar with this music (and the Grieg works that occupy the greater part of these two CDs) here's an excellent way to get to know it without spending the earth, and the performances are of uniform quality throughout.
		There's a case for suggesting that "In the Hall of the Mountain King" or the "Hommage March" (from Sigurd Jorsalfar) require full symphonic forces to do them justice, but Leppard balances his much smaller resources carefully, ensuring that every strand of detailing is plainly audible.
		The recordings are fine, the minor caveat being that the full Gothenburg Symphony string section never attains the sheen and transparency of the ECO under Leppard, especially in the "Holberg" music.

		The four soloists are among the finest of their time, and all give very good performances, though the first thing one notices is the overuse of vibrato.
		The Organ Concertos sound a bit dated, with a strange sounding chamber orchestra, though organist Ivan Sokol is quite good.
