Reviews and impressions

...performed with infectious conviction by the musicians of Kremerata Baltica. – MusicWeb International

Hymns and Prayers combines three works from disparate eras whose moods fit together in a pleasingly astringent manner. – Independent

No one could accuse Gidon Kremer of taking the easy option when it comes to programming, and so it proves on this disc with Kremerata Baltica. – Gramophone
