"Klassik Heute Empfehlung: Eine inspiriertere, poetisch anregendere Musik als Stenhammars Serenade ist kaum vorstellbar ... und das improvisatorisch verzaubernde Konzertmeistersolo ist ganz unglaublich schön gespielt ... Nichts anderes gilt für die g-Moll-Symphonie, das goldglänzende, unerhört prächtige Tournee-Flaggschiff der Göteborger Symphoniker, die in diesem Meisterwerk ihres einstigen Chefdirigenten zuhause sind wie sicher kein anderes Orchester der Welt ... Eine der schönsten Aufnahmen dieser wunderbaren Symphonie, die umso liebenswerter wird, je öfter man sie (gut gespielt) hört ... Eine denkwürdige Produktion".

"Schön ist es, dass Stenhammars Zweite jetzt in einer modernen Einspielung in hervorragender SACD-Klangqualität vorliegt ... Die Interpretation lässt nur wenige Wünsche offen; Lindberg wählt einen energiegeladenen, strukturbetonten Ansatz, der sich besonders in den Ecksätzen und vor allem im Fugen-Finale auszahlt ... Lindberg punktet mit einem weit brillanteren und räumlicheren Klangbild - und mit einem zusätzlichen Werk: Stenhammars Schauspielmusik zu Strindbergs Traumspiel".

"Recommended: The BIS recording, to which I listened as a stereo SACD, is marvellous, giving great clarity and also a most welcome airy concert hall perspective. It's not just the engineers who produce the clarity, though; so do Blomstedt and his players ... Blomstedt brings the symphony home in splendid fashion ... It's not all that long ago that I enjoyed very much another BIS recording of the Serenade, conducted by Christian Lindberg ... I don't resile from my admiration for the Lindberg recording. However, I think Blomstedt now edges it in my affections ... This is an outstanding disc which all lovers of the music of Wilhelm Stenhammar should hear".

"Stenhammar's symphonic style has always struck me as an uneasy hybrid, and, thus far at least, I'm not persuaded otherwise. It doesn't help that the playing is less assured than it was on their earlier album ... As so often, it helps to believe in the music, and I just don't sense Lindberg and his players do ... A rare misstep for Lindberg/BIS".

"Stenhammar var så fuld af respekt overfor Carl Nielsen, Sibelius, Strauss og Mahler, at han var ramt af dyb tvivl, når det gjaldt værdien af sin egen musik ... Men en del af dem er virkelig gode, iblandt dem to klaverkoncerter, som er den ideelle introduktion til den svenske komponist. Stenhammars Symfoni nr. 2 ... er hans symfoniske mesterværk ... [og] bliver mere og mere elskelig, jo mere man lytter til den. Denne opførelse rammer en ideel balance i den henseende ... Christian Lindberg driver musikken fremad indefra og har overblikket når det gælder de forskellige tempi ... Denne fremragende cyklus med Lindberg og Antwerpen Symfoniorkester er værd at følge. Mon vi også får klaverkoncerterne med?".

"Pure post-Romantic Scandi loveliness - great tunes, lush orchestrations and a fun fugue. What more could you want of a dull January day? The Antwerps are on form".

"This disc is special. Whether it's the frisson of live performance or the fact that Blomstedt came to these scores late in life and is radiating the joy of discovery, I can't say. What I do know is that whether you're already smitten by this music or have yet to fall under its spell, you really should hear it".

"Editor's choice: Lindberg's version doesn't burn quite so hot [as Stig Westerberg's] but moves with the sense of urgency I believe Stenhammar had in mind. The Andante lilts, the Scherzo swings, and he wisely keeps the busy contrapuntal finale bustling along ... A glorious release. Don't miss it".

"Som ofta tidigare är det klarheten, den rytmiska spänsten och energin i spelet som karakteriserar Christian Lindbergs tolkning ... Det solistiska anslaget i flera av satserna blir även det extra belyst av dirigenten; det märks att han är en av världens främsta blåsinstrumentalsolister. Musikens episka kvaliteter har dock tagits fram tydiligare av andra. I det avseendet är tolkningen av den harmoniskt mer avancerade musiken till "Ett drömspel" mer övertygande och även mer varierad".
