"Jarvi junior follows in father's footsteps with a worthwhile disc of Peer Gynt"
(Gramophone)
Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine August 2005
Finalist: Orchestral Recording of the Year 2005 (BBC Music Magazine)
"At a time when fine reissues of Grieg's Peer Gynt seem to be thick on the ground (Blomstedt and Järvi senior top of the pile), it's good to have a brand new recording so full of life and incident. Lighter on the vocals and speech than the sets by either Blomstedt or Järvi père, Paavo secures splendid performances from his Estonian choir and orchestra."
(Gramophone)
"All in all this is a disc of superb music-making."
