“Richman gives these hits a vibrant, vigorous reading, making this a must-have for old-school classical repertoire fans and those looking to get their feet wet in the intimidatingly enormous ocean of orchestral classical music.” - ICON

"Thrilling! There's a sense of purpose to every phrase and every choice of tempo, balance, and color...such vibrant music-making. Bravo!" - Donald Rosenberg, President, Music Critics Association of North America

“There’s a fine sense of place and space about the recording, imaging depth and spread providing a realistic ambience without sounding exaggerated. A commendable disc all the way around.” - Classical Candor
