Reviews and impressions

Typical of Gidon Kremer's concept albums, it imaginatively showcases a number of contemporary composers. – Classical Music

...the best of the arrangements are extremely skilful and seriously musical, and Kremer and his superb young orchestra give them the respectful attention they deserve. – The Guardian
