"a good choice for those wanting first-class digital recordings of these symphonies, the sound full and naturally balanced...Järvi is a consistently persuasive Dvorakian" Penguin Guide
"The result seems so warm and natural is due above all to the responsiveness of the SNO players who here, even more strikingly than usual, seem to feel Jarvi's wonderfully free rubato and affectionate moulding of phrase with collective spontaneity."
(Gramophone Review on the original release of No 8)
""Neeme Jarvi and the SNO complete their highly enjoyable Dvorak cycle with an account of the Eighth Symphony which underlines the expressive warmth of the piece, the rhapsodic freedom of invention rather than any symphonic tautness. That the result seems so warm and natural is due above all to the responsiveness of the SNO players who here, even more strikingly than usual, seem to feel Jarvi's wonderfully free rubato and affectionate moulding of phrase with collective spontaneity. It is a joy to have the sort of rubato that you expect from a solo performer so freshly transferred to the orchestra, with such precision and without any feeling of mannerism, not even of the kind that Karajan's comparable moulding with the Berlin Philharmonic sometimes induces."
(Gramophone Review on the original release of No 8)
