"Hartmann's Bergian music is dour but glowingly lit with strong elements of impressionism."
(MusicWeb July 1999)

"Hartmann's Bergian music is dour but glowingly lit with strong elements of impressionism. If you enjoy the symphonies of Shostakovich, Allan Pettersson, Humphrey Searle or Benjamin Frankel you will want to hear this disc. The present CD is the best single disc introduction to the Hartmann symphonies. It is a gem and a more welcoming (though still challenging) option than the four disc Wergo set. The performances are winning and instantly convincing. There is nothing half-hearted about what I take to be radio broadcast tapes. As for the sound you need have no fears. The quality is marvellous. The Sonic Solutions No Noise system has been applied to fine and refined effect. Recommended."
