"Such is the success of this CD that it must be considered as the disc with which to introduce this composer to music-lovers. An exciting experience."
(MusicWeb Recording of the Month Jan 2009)

"Chandos have an unshakable grip on the big choral-orchestral sound. It's one of the company's signatures. This is just as well given that Marx's writing has a lavish extravagance of expression. This is very much for those who love their Delius, Korngold, Zemlinsky and Mahler who will find it irresistible. It has an exuberance and whooping confidence that carries all before it. Such is the success of this CD that it must be considered as the disc with which to introduce this composer to music-lovers. An exciting experience."
