"There is nothing academic about Piston at his best, which these two performances of some of his best symphonies eloquently attest. Formerly available elsewhere, they're now budget-priced with Piston's Fourth to come."
- Buffalo News
"The Seattle musicians have this music in their lifeblood, and perform with technical excellence. A must have release."
- David Denton, Yorkshire Post, 7/11/03
"Among Walter Piston's students at Harvard was Leonard Bernstein who, in turn, was something of an unofficial mentor to Michael Tilson Thomas, the canniest conductor of American symphonic repertoire extant who, for his part, knows how magnificent is Piston's Second Symphony. There is nothing academic about Piston at his best, which these two performances of some of his best symphonies eloquently attest. Formerly available elsewhere, they're now budget-priced with Piston's Fourth to come."
- Jeff Simon, Buffalo News
