"We all know that Alsop is a superb Bernstein conductor ... In the central Profanation movement, Alsop really does outdo Bernstein himself; the playing of the Baltimore Symphony here is sensational, and in the finale Jennifer Johnson Cano sings with great sensitivity and a beautiful tone. The tragic climaxes hit you right in the gut ... A marvellous release by any standard".

"John Neumeier's free adaptation of Thomas Mann's novella Death in Venice for the marvellous dancers of the Hamburg Ballett walks a fine line between astute theatricality and melodrama, between brilliant passages of movement and banal gestures. The primary message is that the life of an artist - even a famous, successful one - can be hell unless he's in creative touch with his inner child, his emotions".

"Recht pathetisch kann der Ton dort sein, etwa in seiner ersten Sinfonie, die das Orchester aus Baltimore hier mit dichtem Klang und energischem Zugriff spielt. Das Pathos wandelt sich zum Gelehrt-Kunstvollen in der zweiten Sinfonie ... Das klingt unerschütterlich kraftvoll und klar".

"The performances are predictably excellent. In No. 1, the imposing first movement is presented with fervour, and the Copland-like central scherzo with lightness and precision; Jennifer Johnson Cano brings sustained intensity to the finale. In No. 2, the orchestra and Jean-Yves Thibaudet negotiate the two opening chains of variations with wide-ranging characterisation".

"A disc of two layers, for sure: a somewhat sober Jeremiah and a scintillating Age of Anxiety ... Thibaudet is ... exhibiting great flair and resilience on the journey - with the keenest partners in Alsop and the Baltimore Symphony ... Never be deceived by his flamboyance. He is the most soulful of players ... The Age of Anxiety is a cracker of a piece and this excellent performance ... amplifies that view in every way".
