Reviews :
« The Janáček’s bring us the finest and best recorded performance so far of the F major (American). The D minor gains greatly from the better balanced recording, especially in the slow movement... this is a distinguished and idiomatic performance. I warmly recommend this disc. The Janáček’s performance seemed to me the best we had ever had and it is not surpassed. » - Gramophone
