Symphonies 1 and 2

"Kuchar's unnerring sense of flow and his affection for these scores is patently obvious, and as many would want these works paired, it makes sense to go for this version rather than pay six times the price for the two Chandos CDs. Performance-wise too, the Naxos is a first choice"
- Soundscapes (Australia)

"Those wanting only Kalinnikov's two symphonies need look no further; the pairing, as well as Naxos's budget price, is ideal. Recommended."
- Fanfare (U.S.A.) - May/June 1996

"Kuchar brings out the rich brass writing to splendid affect ... Kucher's performances are among the best I've heard...a splendid introduction to Kalinnikov"
