"Inflections of Polish folk music, glancing memories of north African travels - all are vividly conjured up by Kaspszyk and his players. The singers are excellent, the women of the choir igniting a glowing halo around Aleksandra Kurzak's soaring soprano".

"BBC music choral & song choice: This huge ensemble is captured in brilliant sound - essential for appreciating the composer's luxuriantly detailed soundworld ... Kurzak shines in ... the Stabat Mater ... and Kaspszyk ensures that everything is balanced between introversion and dramatic impact ... [In] the Third Symphony ... Kaspszyk brings out the dancing flexibility of the central movement while controlling his forces masterfully".

"This is an outstanding recording, by an all-Polish team, of three of Szymanowski's most sumptuosly beatiful works ... Jacek Kaspszyk directs as though his life depends on it, drawing out every shade and subtlety from what is music of an outstandingly wide range of colour ... Highly recommended".
