"All four concertos make a fine program, illustrating the unending imagination and creativity Mozart could so easily summon up."
---John Sunier, Audiophile Audition
"The performances are stylish and idiomatic, while employing modern instruments. Sound in SACD mode is warm and accurate, with notable spaciousness and savory timbres, especially in the solos. The disc also sounds fine played on a conventional stereo system….On all counts-music, performance, sound, and annotation-this is an excellent CD."
Robert McColley, Fanfare
"Marvellous!….The availability of this release as a hybrid SACD could just tip the balance for you."
--Piers Burton-Page, International Record Review
"Mozart's delightful First Horn Concerto is brief, having two delightful fast movements, but no intervening andante or adagio. In this performance, it takes less than nine minutes. The remaining three concertos follow the conventional fast-slow-fast pattern, with Mozart's unfailing invention offering something to delight the ears on every page. On all counts-music, performance, sound, and annotation-this is an excellent CD."
--Robert McColley, Fanfare
"Vivid interpretations of these lovely concertos"
