Samson et Dalîla

'Chung's achievement is to have welded the elements of pagan ruthlessness, erotic stimulation and Wagnerian harmony that comprise Saint-Saëns's masterpiece into a convincing whole. Without a doubt this is the most subtly and expertly conducted performance of this work to appear on CD, and also the best played and sung.' Gramophone
