"The superb ECM recording is certainly set in a more sympathetic acoustic, and is without doubt my first choice out of the two. If your search for new music and fine recordings is for those with that elusive 'tingle factor' then this is a must-have." (MusicWeb Recording of the Month May 2008)

"The superb ECM recording is certainly set in a more sympathetic acoustic, and is without doubt my first choice out of the two. If your search for new music and fine recordings is for those with that elusive 'tingle factor' then this is a must-have. Were I still to be working in a record shop this is one I would be shoving under people's noses with tiresome regularity."

Swiss composer Frank Martin's exceptional symphonic works are finally given the recordings they deserve on this debut ECM album by the new German Radio Philharmonic Orchestra under Christoph Poppen. Violinist Muriel Cantoreggi soars over two string orchestras on the radiant Polyptique and answers the beautiful soprano of Juliane Banse on the moving Maria-Tripytchon.
