"Scintillating accounts of two of Roussel's most enduring scores...Eschenbach's understanding of Roussel is manifestly profound and his way with the music quietly compelling and persuasive. Very highly recommended."
Guy Rickards, Gramophone, April 2008
Eschenbach's understanding of the mixture of surface charm and underlying malaise is marvellously acute, and the playing is often devastating in its brilliance.
Tim Ashley, The Guardian, April 18, 2008
"This makes for an easy full price choice - poetically done in every aspect."
(MusicWeb July 2008)
This new version of the Third Symphony is in total harmony with Roussel's idea of orchestral play and doesn't come down in comparison with the many reference recordings available (...). It distinguishes itself through its great ease and generosity.
Franck Mallet, Classica-Répertoire, April 2008
