"Orchestral choice: Honeck's interpretative tendency is to emphasise the score's purely symphonic credentials, he still keeps one foot in the ballet theatre - witness the way he magics the slow movement's long phrases; and the scherzo's delightful pizzicato ripplings seem to conjure a choreographic scenario ... There is no doubting the sense of excitement Honeck generates ... Leshnoff's soundworld, unashamedly tonal, possesses a melodic sensuality and textural piquancy reminiscent of Tchaikovsky's great Russian contemporary, Rimsky-Korsakov".
