“Typical of Gidon Kremer's concept albums, it imaginatively showcases a number of contemporary composers” --BBC Music Magazine, December 2012 *****
“Kremer is ideally placed to bring together the old and new, having championed Bach and been a tireless promoter of the music of living composer. Yet many of the transcriptions featured here are so faithful that one wonders whether the composers were afraid to tinker too much with the original.” --Gramophone Magazine, November 2012

“It could all seem supremely tacky and self-indulgent, and some of the tracks certainly are, but the best of the arrangements are extremely skilful and seriously musical, and Kremer and his superb young orchestra give them the respectful attention they deserve.” --The Guardian, 4th October 2012 ****
