"..for those interested in Dvořák's development as a composer this is both fascinating and vital in appreciating his genius - it is important to remember that this was by far the most substantial composition Dvořák had attempted at the date of its composition. Taking that fact into account the successes of the work far outweigh the shortcomings. Exactly the same can be said of this performance - the minor flaws of execution that come with a live concert count for little compared to the confident, committed and dramatic sweep of the performance. A set all admirers of the composer should hear." (Recording of the Month MusicWeb June 2015)

"Heiko Matthias Förster deserves praise for revealing the vitality of the piece." (Gramophone)
