“Kreizbergs readings are spacious, precise, elegant, warm, and regal. His musicians play with wonderful tone and technique; I have never heard this orchestra sound so thoroughly world-class. Moreover, these are the best-recorded versions available. The sound is rich and full yet totally transparent. One can hear a myriad of detail in every passage. The surround channels are perfectly balanced to the front and create a palpable sense of space.”

“Everything from the lilting second beat to the lush sonorities and melting strings is in apple pie order. Wilfried Scharf’s zither is a match for that of Anton Karas, the latter of whom played for Carol Reed’s film The Third Man. The warmth of the oboe and the surrounding strings for the opening of Artists’ Life proves potently effective, as are the ensuing, tripping figures in strings and winds. Wonderful sonic separation of the antiphons in the development section of this marvellous waltz.”
