"Naxos often gives us pleasure by introducing artists otherwise unknown. Talmi has real feeling for Berlioz... Excellent value."
- BBC Music Magazine - October 1996

"one of the most attractive performances of this difficult-to-bring-off work in perhaps a decade.....Reverie et Caprice is carried off with aplomb. A genuine bargain".
- Fanfare

"The San Diego Symphony are an excellent orchestra, impressive in every department, and Talmi is a sympathetic interpreter...[Igor Grupmann] gloriously rich and true of tone in every register with playing full of fantasy"
- Gramophone

"a performance which balances the work's structural proportions and manic poetic musings almost to perfection...the big eruptions register with thrilling impact"
- Classic CD May 1997
