"The way Kuusisto and the ensemble breathe together in the Humoresques, allowing real improvisatory freedom with no loss whatsoever of rhythmic coherence, is pretty amazing ... engineering is just as splendid as the performances ... terrific!"
- ClassicsToday.com
"Four Stars ... an aural delight of excellently spirited Sibelius ... sonically splendid ... the recorded sound has violin and antiphonal horns and winds streaking through the sonic stratosphere ... warrants my recommending this disc for Best of the Year honours."
- Audiophile Audition
For lovers of Sibelius's famous Violin Concerto, this album offers an ideal opportunity to discover his less-performed works for violin and orchestra, played by celebrated Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto. Known as a cutting edge musician, Kuusisto is acclaimed for his tone, technique, infectious enthusiasm and his imaginative interpretations, all of which are on display here. The Tapiola Sinfonietta, one of the top professional orchestras in the Nordic countries, is famous for its fine performances of classical, contemporary and less familiar chamber orchestra repertoire.
