AllMusic2008afafUncle Dave Lewis2008"Nevertheless, Villa-Lobos' Tenth Symphony is a work that well deserves hearing, and CPO's recording is spacious, atmospheric, and clear - a job well done, and an appropriate send-off for its cycle of Villa-Lobos symphonies".Læs anmeldelse
Fono Forum2015 MärzafafClemens Haustein2015 März"São Paulo Symphony Orchestra and Choir unter Isaac Karabtchevsky spielen dieses Werk mit Klarheit und Temperament und liefern damit ein Hörerlebnis, das nicht einfach nur "exotisch" ist, sondern tatsächlich wunderbar fremde lang- und Denkwelten öffnet".
The gramophone2015 JanuaryafafGuy Rickards2015 January"His [Karabtchevsky] feel for Villa-Lobos's idiom, orchestral sound and expressive world is near unmatched ... This new Tenth is the most convincing account yet, caught splendidly by Naxos in fine sound. Recommended with enthusiasm to all those interested in Villa-Lobos - and those who aren't".
The gramophone2008 JuneafafGuy Rickards2008 June"The vocal and choral contributions are vital, however, and this newcomer presents the truest aural picture of the symphony yet provided ... The South West German Radio Symphony Orchestra's playing is superior to their rivals".
