‘Hummel shows his imagination in full force, but this is comfortable to listen to, especially as played with the vigour and enthusiasm of the Pettman Ensemble. …flutist Uwe Grodd is well integrated into the ensemble.’ – American Record Guide
‘The energy generated by these young musicians is obvious from the get-go, as is their commitment to the repertoire. Vital and intellectually challenging, these curiosities repay the listener’s interest time after time by way of their memorable and affable nature.’ – Fanfare
‘The Enso Quartet plays with great confidence and verve, not to mention excellent rhythm and admirably accurate intonation. This is good music, and in these performances the players have you believing in its quality at every point.’ – ClassicsToday.com
‘Well-crafted and bounces right along – tuneful, too… The performances by the Finnish orchestra…under their French conductor-soloist are first-rate: lively, concentrated, polished, and direct.’ – American Record Guide
