Reviews and impressions

...the performance is again of the highest order. – Gramophone

There is passion, excitement, luminosity and a real individuality in every movement, and all conceived on an epic scale. Kremer and his players respond throughout with playing of great commitment, polish and flair. – MusicWeb International

Gidon Kremer and his ensemble dig into both works with irrepressible energy and virtuoso flair. – Classics Today

A curiosity, perhaps, but well worth exploring. – Classical Music
