"Given the excellence of the performance and utter fidelity of the recording. I recommend this disc for the doors it can open on Bruckner's Second Symphony."
(Fiev Stars AudAud.com)
"A Bruckner symphony played by a chamber orchestra?...Bruckner's lyrical moments achieve a wonderful intimacy, while his quirky structures and changing textures knit together in a manner hard to duplicate with big forces. Dausgaard's players, horns especially, revel in the spotlight. Refreshing."
(The Times)
"It's certainly revealing to hear Bruckner's textures opened out so that the inner voices are more audible, and the woodwind lines are for once not swaddled in huge pillows of string sound."
(The Guardian)
"Bruckner played by a chamber orchestra?...Yet when played with the transparency, flexibility and individual character of these admired Swedish musicians, the results are exhilarating...If you have an obstinate resistance to Brucknerian weightiness, this recording offers a fresh, totally unturgid approach."
(The Observer)
