"This album's sound quality is crystal clear, both for the orchestra and Skerath, so anyone out for some classic Sturm und Drang opera can stop their search here: Page and the Mozartists have won lots of praise for their opera recordings, and rightly so. Their symphonic playing, on the other hand, is still developing".

"This recording is the second in a projected seven-volume series exploring the so-called 'Sturm und Drang' movement that swept through music and other art forms between the early 1760s and the early 1780s ... A leading figure was the young Goethe, whose Sorrows of the Young Werther (1774) anticipated the sombre world-weariness of the next century's young Romantics, and the movement is generally considered to have reached its peak with Schiller's play Die Räuber (1780-81) ... This series of 'Sturm und Drang' recordings incorporates iconic compositions by Mozart, Gluck and, above all, Joseph Haydn, but it also includes largely forgotten or neglected works by less familiar names. All of the music featured on this second recording in the series was composed between 1765 and 1770, with three turbulent minor-key symphonies alternating with sacred and operatic arias".

"Sturm und Drang is shaping up to be not only an eminently enjoyable series in its own right but an insightful collection of considerable value. Volume 3 can't come soon enough!".

"The fierce agitation of the outer movements of Haydn's Symphony No. 39 certainly exemplify such qualities [Sturm und Drang], just as the dynamic sweep and hair-trigger precision of Ian Page's players demonstrate their skill and commitment in articulating them ... Of the vocal items, delivered with volatile feeling by the Swedish mezzo Ida Ränzlöv, the Gluck arias are troubled and plaintive; more impetuous is a scena by the shortlived Josef Mysliveček".

"Wie schon in der ersten Folge ... gelingt Ian Page und seinen Mozartists mehr als nur ein beseeltes Porträt dieser bewegten Zeit, bei dem sich Feuer und Kraft mit innigem Fühlen verbinden, hier auch in den von Ida Ränslöv gesungenen Arien. Die auf sieben Teile angelegte Reihe wird sicherlich noch viele Überraschungen bringen".

"Editor's choice: Page and his players once again demonstrate their total identification with this music in playing of dizzying drive and accuracy. Comprehensive notes by the conductor give not only the musical and historical background but welcome explanations of the dramatic situations of the operatic pieces. Once again, high artistry conspires with scholarship and strength of concept to create a programme that scintillates from start to finish".

"Sturm und Drang (storm och längtan) var en strömning som svepte genom Europa mellan 1760-talet och 1780-talet och som förebådade romantikens genombrutt ... Brittiske dirigenten Ian Page och hans orkester - The Mozartists - har tagit Sturm und Drang till sina hjärtan ... Mozart, Gluck och Haydn bildar en grundbult, men Page är också mån om att slå ett slag för lite mer okända tonsättare ... Totalt sju album är planerade i denna intelligent programsatta serie".
