"... Harbison’s depth of thought and orchestration are most impressive ... I don’t think there can be any doubt, however, that both of these succinct symphonies are the product of a serious and thoughtful musical mind and of a composer who is thoroughly at ease in writing for the modern symphony orchestra. They are an important contribution to the literature of the 20th century American symphony ... the performances by Levine and the Boston Symphony are assured, committed and highly proficient. The recorded sound in both cases is very good ..."
