"... conducted with sharp insight and unfaltering authority. Under Storgårds’ baton the impeccably prepared Helsinki Philharmonic exhibit their commitment to the music. The playing glows with expressive force and a palpable sense of concentration."
- MusicWeb International
"Given their (undeserved) obscurity, both the tone poem and the symphony have enjoyed a small handful of recordings, but none that top this outstanding release. John Storgårds is an excellent conductor ... the performances are just about perfect in all respects: totally idiomatic, committed, passionate and immaculately played. There isn’t a dull second and he’s exceptionally well recorded. A great release."
