"The orchestral playing is impressive, right from the very beginning of the piece where, in the carefully laid out introduction, you sense that the orchestra is following the conductor with the intensity of a chamber performance. [...] Mr Ono’s enjoyably delivered performance has been well recorded in warm, rich, full-bodied sound that suits the repertoire well. At the same time, Ono skilfully balances his forces so that plenty of felicitous ne detail can be heard and appreciated."

"There is little doubt that Kazushi Ono has an instictive feeling for the music of Scriabin. In this warmly recorded release, which marks the opening instalment in a complete cycle, he charts the ebb and flow of emotions that characterise the Wagnerian Second Symphony with conviction. Ono knows when to push the music forward and project impetus and urgency, and where to hold back and allow for reflection and repose."

Juan Gómez Espinosa

"La Sinfonía n. 2, estrenada en 1902 en San Petersburgo, es una música de un sentimiento arrollador (todavía totalmente tonal), estructurada en cinco movimientos que, realmente, parecen tres (los dos primeros podrían ser uno solo dividido en andante y allegro, y el cuar- to y el quinto se relevan con enorme fluidez, mientras que el “Andante” central se alza como el corazón emocional de la obra). Las líneas melódicas, de profunda inspiración, y la orquestación, brillante (que lle- gará a su culmen en el Poema del Éxtasis) son defendidas en esta ocasión por una Brussels Philharmonic que se sitúa un paso más allá de la eficacia, sa- biamente dirigida por Kazushi Ono."
