"These are lithe performances on modern instruments, but certainly "historically informed". The winds are pure but characterful and the horns rise to Haydn's challenges (which from time to time in his symphonic career could be steep indeed)." International Record Review
"These are lithe performances on modern instruments, but certainly "historically informed". The winds are pure but characterful and the horns rise to Haydn's challenges (which from time to time in his symphonic career could be steep indeed). The string playing is similarly sensitive. Isang Yun's Chamber Symphony is certainly not out of place in this company: it was composed for the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie in 1987 and scored for a typically Haydnesque orchestra. … This … remains a most effective compilation, contrasting the new in the old with the old in the new."
Carl Rosman, International Record Review
