"The RTE band plays well enough... Frith virtuosity continues to impress in this... The music speaks for itself." - BBC Music Magazine - March 1996
"Benjamin Frith approaches Weber with an engaging freshness and willingness to take risks... attractive and original performances" - Gramophone
"Benjamin's Frith's accounts are first class and he receives splendid support from O'Duinn and the excellent Dublin Sinfonietta. In consequence, these performances all have real depth (the Konzertstück is particularly fine). Frith's playing has plenty of dash, yet its impetuosity is never inclined to run away with itself. The Naxos CD is not only very well recorded and inexpensive, it also includes the appropriately named L'Hilarité - Polacca brillante, which Frith play with attractive panache." Penguin Guide
