Gramophone Magazine December 2007 “…less poised and polished than the record perhaps but with bags of vitality, the first movement cadenza (which includes telling references to the timpani motif) sounding more than ever like a natural outgrowth of what has gone before. István Kertész conducts a powerful and vivid account of the orchestral score, just as he does for the Egmont Overture. Good stereo sound, too. All in all, a fine memorial to a significant player.”
