(...) the formidable interpretative skills of conductor John Storgårds, who secures exemplary results from the Tampere Philharmonic. The sound is splendidly ample and detailed to match. (...) This enterprising release deserves every success.
Andrew Achenbach, Gramophone, April 2003, Editor's Choice
If you enjoy Kancheli, or Rautavaara, or what you might call the "new tonal school" of modern composers, then you're going to love this. It's also marvelously played and conducted (...), and the sonics are drop-dead gorgeous. An event not to be missed!
