""[Stenz is] equally at home in the romantic sweep of Pelleas as he is in the much more ambiguous world of the concerto, with its tensions between tradition and innovation, serialism and tonality, while never allowing the former to become too indulgent nor the latter to seem too dry and calculated".

"The most innovative features of Erwartung, a "monodrama for soprano and large orchestra", are the continual variation of orchestral textures, and the constantly changing tempi. Not only are the instrumental combinations new, but the instruments themselves are required to produce new sounds".

"Boulez står igen klar med sit røntgensyn på denne fine liveindspilning ... Med en knivskarp Boulez på podiet arbejder de unge musikere i Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester sig overbevisende fra urbilledet på den passionerede kærlighed og videre gennem følelsesniveauerne op til Schönbergs rastløse spændinger. Der er ingen grund til at betænke sig".

"Boulez brings out the best aspects of its formal flexibility and textural richness. In the final stages he even allows himself to broaden the tempo at a place not asked for by the composer without sounding contrived".

"Markus Stentz and the Oehms team have done a lot of work picking out leading voices and balancing the riotously profuse counterpoint. The result has a compelling narrative cohesion ... At times everything seems magnificently, grippingly in focus".

Vurdering (Pelleas): 4/5.

Vurdering (Violin Concerto): 3/5.

"Like Hilary Hahn, Kolja Blacher has clearly absorbed lessons from the work's early interpreters ... In not allowing the solo part to be tied up in soliloquising knots of contrapuntal introspection ... His relationship with the orchestra is strong ... and he makes a muscular but never ugly case for the finale in the virtuoso tradition".
