"Zehetmair finds a mellifluous way of shaping melody while keeping the momentum virile and the music buoyant...the entire performance exudes a genuine delight in Schubert's palette of orchestral colours" (Gramophone)
"Zehetmair finds a mellifluous way of shaping melody while keeping the momentum virile and the music buoyant...the entire performance exudes a genuine delight in Schubert's palette of orchestral colours...Zehetmair's admirably structured account of the First Symphony and the Northern Sinfonia's luminous playing of it highlight a (then young) composer who had something to say and voiced it with sensibility and conviction."
(Gramophone)
"It would be difficult to imagine a more persuasive and committed performance than that given by these players. Likewise, the Schubert is delivered with dynamism, charm and finesse"
(BBC Music)
"Zehetmair seems to have a real feeling for [the Gál] and makes sure each movement is incisively and intensely characterized...the Schubert Sixth is an ideal foil and receives an equally delightful performance...Zehetmair and his orchestra expound it with palpable affection and the conductor keeps the music on a very taut rhythmic rein."
