"[This music] is unpacked with great care by Esa-Pekka Salonen, with Ida Falk Winland and Holgersson as the entwining soprano soloists. All the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic performances, under Sakari Oramo for Beast Sampler and O Dessa Ögon and David Zinman for Cold Heat, are first-rate; there seems to be no doubt that orchestras enjoy playing Hillborg's music".

"Once again Hillborg has come up with a riveting, highly accomplished score that should silence all doubters. Oramo, who rarely disappoints, keeps it all on track; the recording is a stunner ... The rarefied loveliness of O dessa ögon (Oh these eyes), is a welcome contrast to all that growl and prowl ... simply and soaringly sung by Hannah Holgersson ... These pieces find Hillborg at his most inspired and inspiring; superb musicianship and stellar sound complete the package".

"Was mit schnarrenden Luftgeräuschen und unruhig flirrenden Bläserfigurationen beginnt, entwickelt sich zum virtuosen Jonglieren mit orchestralen Massentexturen ... Die gross aufspielende Stockholmer Philharmonie gönnt uns in dieser ausgesprochen prominent besetzten Produktion volle Klangvucht im Breitwandformat. Die andere, spirituelle Seite von Hillborgs Stil verkörpert O Dessa Ögon ... Beide Aspekte von Hillborgs effektvoller Stimmen- und Orchesterbehandlung vereinen sich in Sirens".

"Rich, sonorous playing from Oramo's orchestra under all three conductors, and singing full of purity, accuracy and fresh air above it; both soloists are agile, strong and able to tell a story. But that all comes from what Hillborg writes for them. Sirens should be heard".
