"From the Russian orchestra comes everything you'd expect: crisp string playing, shimmering brass and a slight seediness to middle voices, which is an integral part of the picture. Andre Anichanov keeps rhythms fresh and gives his players the freedom to enjoy themselves"
- Classic CD
"...much praise...Naxos's darkly sonorous ambience works well..."
