“… this release is a delight from beginning to end.” Steven Kruger

“… The Buffalo Philharmonic shines. Another outstanding accomplishment by JoAnn Falletta and the orchestra she can call her own.” Jerry Dubbins

“First there was this, [Kodaly Orchestral works 8.573838], and now, just as recommendable, is a second Kodály album from JoAnn Falletta and the Buffalo Philharmonic…”

**** Excellent Album

Performance ****      Recording ****

“…any survey of Kodàly’s orchestral music has to include the three magnificent works featured here, and given the quality of these performances from JoAnn Falletta and the Buffalo Philharmonic, it must be hoped they’ll return to the composer for a second volume…”

“…There is a lot that stays in the mind in this symphony I am surprised it so rarely programmed. I cannot imagine it being done better than Falletta and the orchestra perform it here. I have been impressed by earlier discs of these artists, not only with the quality of the music-making, but also with the sound recorded in Kleinhans Hall. There is plenty of detail to be savoured and at the same time good, but not excessive reverberation. Another fine production from Naxos.”
