"Piquant harmonies and idiosyncratic orchestration - a potent combination, equally powerfully in the execution."
Philip Clark, Gramophone, November 2007

Hybrid SACD (recorded in DXD; SACD Surround 5.0 / SACD Stereo / CD Stereo - playable on all SACD and CD players)

"Piquant harmonies and idiosyncratic orchestration - a potent combination, equally powerfully in the execution."
Philip Clark, Gramophone, November 2007

"Panufnik has a feeling for dramaturgical effects, he loves large string parts, widely spreaded sound fields, heroic and hymnal elements. (...) Big praise for the Tampere Philharmonic from Finland. Under chief conductor John Storgårds it champions Panufnik's music with emphasis and virtuosity (...) but also with great subtlety and intimicy."
Peter Heissler, Klassik-heute.com, September 25, 2007

"excellently played and recorded"
David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com, September 2007

"John Storgårds spans the music's range from serenity to rhythmic incisiveness with a sure hand."
Matthew Rye, The Daily Telegraph, September 8, 2007

"Taken together the four pieces, in vivid performances under John Storgards, give a good sense of the power (...) of Panufnik's music."
Andrew Clements, The Guardian, September 7, 2007

"...a fascinating composer, able to combine the most ingenious schematism with biting and beguiling sonority. These four works give a good impression of his oeuvre. (...) The performances are fresh and vivid."
Paul Driver, The Sunday Times, August 19, 2007
