"The Saint-Saëns Piano Concertos may not be great music and they may not receive many concert outings, but they are good fun and there has never been any shortage of good recordings, though no other version couples these two concertos on a single CD ... Throughout the CD the recording is up to Decca's usual high standard ... Even if you already have a version of the more popular No.2, it is unlikely to be better than this and the CD is well worth buying for No.5 alone".

"Elegantieren Jean-Yves Thibaudet leger med det eksotiske i klangene, så det er en lyst, og er dirigenten en kende sjusket med de lige så fremmedartede rytmer, så er det til gengæld forrygende, som solistens fingre bevæger sig over tangenterne ... Det er en aldeles mesterlig indspilning, Thibaudet her har begået. Et blændende virtuost fyrværkeri ... og orkestret under den erfarne Dutoit lyder nu helt blændende. Ordentligt samlet og omhyggeligt".

"En koncert med ham går man både beriget og dybt underholdt hjem fra. I pladestudiet har den kønne franskmand derimod været lidt ujævn ... Dels virker det berømte orkester fra Suisse Romande ikke rigtig på højde med situationen - allerede de allerførste par harmonier er for eksempel falske. Og det meste af pladen igennem lyder Thibaudets flygel på skift ustemt og farveløst. Men okay: Francks symfoniske variationer og især begyndelsen af klaverkoncerten nummer to redder en del".

"En meget elegant spillende solist i Saint-Saëns' klaverkoncerter to og fem og en smidig virtuos i César Francks Symfoniske variationer. Charles Dutoit og L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande er også på hjemmebane ... Virtuoseri, ja, men af den musikalske slags".

"Chamayou's playing - fluid, thoughtful, flamboyant and precise - on this enjoyable recording of the composer's most popular piano concertos, the Second and Fifth! ... For the Second Concerto ... we step into an impressive Baroque cathedral of sound ... that really play to Chamayou's fleet-fingered strengths. The nimbleness and fluidity of his playing is remarkable. It's a zingy performance all round, with a vigorous performance from the Orchestre National de France, conducted by Emmanuel Krivine".

"Wir hören Interpretationen, die von allerhöchstem Kunsternst und einer eindrucksvollen, aber ziemlich forcierten brillanz geprägt sind".

"The G minor Concerto opens Bertrand Chamayou's disc ... In fact, I would go as far as placing Chamayou and Krivine at or near the top of the myriad recordings currently avaiable ... His pianissiom-leggiero and jeu perlé playing are quite masterly ... Chamayou follows the two concertos with seven well-chosen solos ... The Étude en forme de valse ... is the most scintillating account I have heard ... Valse nonchalante ... concludes this most desirable disc".

"This scintillating disc finds Jean-Yves Thibaudet in notably effervescent form, revelling in Saint-Saëns's pianistic brio and intricacy ... Dutoit and the Suisse Romande are all of a piece with their high-flying soloist and Decca's balance and sound are exemplary".

"Og så har mester Thibaudet sat sig til flyglet ... Det gøres ikke bedre!".
