"This program of beautiful pieces for string orchestra should permanently lay to rest the notion that the digital process makes string instruments sound harsh or otherwise unnatural." - Digital Audio
"The choice and layout of musical selections show imagination and are up to Telarc's usual good taste. They all seem to fit together well, and the sound is bright and clear, with no signs of stridency in the strings." - Palladium-Times
"Telarc has lavished its usual loving care on the recording. If the music appeals, I cannot imagine anyone disliking this disc. It is a superb issue." -American Record Guide
