"Nishizaki's contribution is appealing in its direct lyricism. The Concerto K. 211 blossoms readily, with the Adagio beautifully shaped and the finale full of character. The Rondo K. 269/K. 261a is also given an infectious performance and the bright, immediate sound suits the music-making."
- THE GUARDIAN - 14 March 1991
"From Naxos come excellent modern digital recordings of the five Mozart violin concertos plus the Sinfonia concertante for violin, viola and orchestra. There are surely no better examples than these of the high standard of performance and recording and value for money offered by this label at only ?.99 per disc. The excellent soloist is Takako Nishizaki, who is stylishly accompanied throughout by the Capella Istropolitana using modern instruments with proper Mozartian finesse. Johannes Wildner is briskly spick and span in the first movement of K. 207.... Nishizaki's contribution is appealing in its direct lyricism. The Concerto K. 211 blossoms readily, with the Adagio beautifully shaped and the finale full of character. The Rondo K. 269/K. 261a is also given an infectious performance and the bright, immediate sound suits the music-making."

"Very recommendable collection of the violin concertos ... . The soloist is the warmly responsive Japanese violinist, Takako Nishizaki, with an excellent chamber orchestra from eastern Europe, the Capella Istropolitana of Bratislava."
