"The engineers have provided satisfactory sound. Add to this a reasonably informative essay in the booklet. Overall this is a real treat, full of strong characterful playing and vivid colours from Argerich and her Lugano friends".

"Nicht Sentiment, sondern vor allem tiefer Ernst ist es, den er gemeinsam mit dem London Symphony Orchestra als Hauptelement der Partitur herauskristallisiert. Dies geht allerdings nicht auf Kosten jener tänzerischen Energie, wie sie vor allem im zweiten Satz und der Stretta des Finales sich manifestiert".

"These are thoughtful, well-considered performances, excellently played and recorded. So why do I feel they lack something? ... Overall the emotional temperature seems a bit low, despite some highly exciting passages and refined solo playing ... But there are simply better versions elsewhere".

"Es ist erstaunlich, in welch kurzer Zeit die 2003 gegründete Nationalphilharmonie künstlerisch Fuss gefasst hat ... Bei den Werken Rachmaninows zeigt sich das Orchester vollends in seinem Element".

"This fascinating and intelligently planned programme brings together the final works of three late-Romantic composers whose stylistic outlook, at least on the surface, appears to have been at odds with the harsh and modernist external environment in which they were living ... Joseph Moog and Kai Adomeit are fully attuned to the more percussive aspects of Rachmaninov's writing".

"Quite simply superb ... find the orchestra in responsive form and can hold their own against most rival versions ... In these dedicated performances both works cast a powerful spell".

"Valery Gergiev and the London Symphony Orchestra are fully alert to these and offer a reading full of wistful melancholy and rugged aggression ... The LSO strings are all neo-classical precision in the Stravinsky ... There is much to enjoy here, not least an orchestra that is at the very top of its game under its charismatic conductor".

"This is a big-boned performance [Stravinsky], its syncopations crisply articulated by the LSO ... So this is one of those maddening discs that might be recommendable for one of the works but not for the other".

"In the Symphonic Dances he and his finely honed, malleable RLPO lucidly characterise the tangy instrumental timbres and crisp, syncopated rhythms ... Deft orchestra equilibrium and supple rubato give The Rock the helping hand it needs".

"Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "It is ... rather more than a convenient repertoire compendium because, taken overall, there are few finer versions anywhere of each title ... All in all, a Rachmaninov-fest to savour".

"Joseph Moog and Kai Adomeit are so well matched that you can hardly tell the pianists apart ... Their synchronicity extends to all dynamic hairpins and precisely yet never rigidly matching each others 'marcato' articulations ... More from this dynamic duo, please!".
