"The Vanhal symphonies are technically exceptional and capable of going toe-to-toe with the middle-period symphonies of Haydn and even several of Mozart's." (American Record Guide)
"The Vanhal symphonies are technically exceptional and capable of going toe-to-toe with the middle-period symphonies of Haydn and even several of Mozart's. Vanhal's thematic material is often memorable, and his development sections well worked through... The City of London Sinfonia is an exceptional advocate for this rare literature. The small modern-instrument orchestra plays poise and panache, production well-paced and architecturally sound readings...they also allow the listener to immerse himself in the undeniable and sometimes enviable glories of Vanhal's art."
