“Mackerras evokes atmosphere in every piece, with more consciously dramatic attack, more pointing of rhythm, more swagger in the playing. An admirable account with really brilliant and incisive playing-in Gnomus, for instance. The acoustic in general sounds very well and the performance is both imaginative and really well-played.” - Gramophone (Pictures)

“qualities of confidence and finesse that mark out Mackerras's work in the studio … he seems to have taken naturally to working at full intensity before the microphones” - Gramophone (Pictures)

“Audio buffs will relish the wide dynamic range of these recordings - made in 8-track sound - a fascinating listening experience.” - classicalcdreview.com (Petrushka)
