"The orchestra, made up of front-rank players from the St Petersburg Philharmonic, is immediately convincing in the Shostakovich ... The players sound a notch less securely blended in [the Strauss] but the performance glows once it gets going and ultimately achieves a compelling intensity, especially when its theme piles up upon itself towards the end".

"Played here with sensitivity and intent these elegiac works have a haunting quality. The recorded sound is slightly foggy".

"The playing has individual distinction and corporate unity of purpose. The choice of tone-colours, the thrust and definance in fast movements and the matching of nuance to the range of quieter moods make for a fine combination of chamber-music finesse and orchestral weight ... A warm welcome to the catalogue".

"Editor's choice: Rarely have I been as moved by Strauss's 'Study for 23 solo strings' ... as I was when listening to this richly-textured recording by the Baltic Chamber Orchestra. Although the chosen tempos are comparatively broad, Emmanuel Leducq-Barôme keeps you on edge of your seat, principally by achieving maxium tension at the crest of each phrase ... Again the playing suggests maximum commitment".

"The Moscow Soloists perhaps do not quite maintain the standard of their Shostakovich performance in the rarities here; on the other hand, they make such a persuasive case for them it hardly matters. Well worth exploring".
