"While the Orchestre's sound is fresh and appealing with characterful winds, warm brass, and sweet strings, it is also an odd and sometimes ungainly sound with perhaps overly pungent clarinets and bassoons, possibly overly raw horns and surely occasionally scrappy strings ... Still, the disc is worth hearing by those who know and love the works - and that, of course, should include every fan of nineteenth century German Romantic music".

"Wenn er will, lässt Dausgaard wunderbar sanglich und sensibel phrasieren, wenn er will, entsteht momentweise ein kammermusikalisches Ganzes, doch noch überdeckt der Rausch des Stürmens und Drängens, der brillanten Effekte des Augenblicks den Sinn für eine energetisch zusammenhängende Darstellung".

"As we've come to expect, their performances have a raw, driving energy that's very persuasive - and yet the flipside is that the playing, especially from the stereo-placed violins, tends to have more vigour than refinement.In a live performance, Dausgaard would almost certainly be able to sell the rough edges to us; on disc he and the orchestra are less convincing ... Camilla Tilling is a luxury soprano soloist".

"Presto disc of the week: "It definitely still feels like a full representation of Mendelssohn's sparkling music. And sparkle it does: there's a real lightness of touch in the Overture, and I was delighted with the way that Gardiner manages to make familiar music sound fresh".

"Vurdering: CD-Empfehlungen" - "Selten vernimmt man Sinfonisches von Mendelssohn ähnlich klar und auf vergleichbarem Spannungsniveau".

"BBC music orchestral choice: The whole work is delivered with exemplary brio and polish [Symphony] ... If anything, the virtuosity ... is exceeded in that of Midsummer Night's Dream, where ... the interplay between spoken and instrumental sections is smoothly engineered and the young actors keep things moving".

"Medelssohn ist eine besondere Spezialität von Liebreich und dem MKO, wie auch die neue CD zeigt. Denn mit dem historischen informierten Zuschnitt, der die Tempi strafft und den Klang entschlackt, wird eine subtile Begegnung von Klassik und Romantik hörbar. Von diesen Profil profitiert im 'Sommernachtstraum' auch der Gesang der Solisten und des Chors".

"Technisch einwandfrei auf hohem Niveau und mit breitem dynamischen Spektrum musizierend, bleibt Dausgaard dennoch gerade hier vieles schuldig - nimmt doch sein allzu kühler Zugang nicht nur der Musik ihren eigentümlichen Reiz, sondern beraubt sie auch der hinter ihr stehenden landschaftlichen Erlebnisse und literarischen Grundlagen".

"Much to enjoy here ... Pinpoint precision of melody-carrying flutes and violins, the sure footed bass and above all a sense that the composer is being taken seriously".

"Dausgaard and his Swedish players bring a velvet legato to the second theme of the overture ... The seascape concert overtures are similarly spruce".
