"The tone is lighter than the symphony, and the influence of Richard Strauss is quite strong in this youthful piece, even to the point of overt allusions to Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche in the overture. While this is enjoyable filler, the symphony provides the best reason to listen, and anyone who loves Korngold's music should become familiar with it through this exceptional recording".

"Recording of the week: The main work is the Symphony in F sharp, and right from the start, with brooding, restless chords from bassoons, marimba, piano, and strings, it's clear that Wilson is alive to the nuances of Korngold's orchestration...Although of course this isn't actually a disc of film music, the Hollywood sheen of the strings is highly pleasing ... If this impressive offering is the debut of his new ensemble, then I can't wait to hear what delights they have planned for the future!".

"Recording of the month: At long last, Erich Wolfgang Korngold's Symphony in F sharp has the recording it deserves ... Wilson and his Sinfonia of London bring us the work as it needs to sound ... Throughout, he and the Sinfonia of London render the symphony with the same breathtaking intensity, rigour and sweeping momentum that characterised Korngold's own conducting and playing ... Their playing is astonishingly brilliant. Indeed, there are Hollywood-dream glories in the string tone ... Authentic Korngold? Yes indeed".

"Editor's choice: Rumours have been circling for a while of a ... new super orchestra hand-picked from the cream of the UK's orchestral players. Now here it is: a radiant new recording og Korngold's orchestral musik with an all new Sinfonia of London ... And then Wilson runs with it, in one of the most athletic performances of this symphony on record ... The great Adagio really strives, as well as sings ... Every phrase speaks ... The result is both gripping and sincerely moving ... Stirring, thought-provoking and superbly played, this disc is a tonic. Let's hope it's not a one-off".

"Korngolds musik idag hörs ... främst i form av hans violinkonsert från 1947 eller en eller annan snutt från hans digra filmmusikproduktion. Hans enda symfoni ... kom faktisk inte att spelas in på skiva förrän 1972. Sedan dess har det kommit flera andra inspelningar av detta sällan spelade verk, men få har lyckats navigera så skickligt genom det svårbemästrade partituret som John Wilson gör det här i denna inspelning med sina handplockade musiker i Sinfonia of London".
