"It takes some doing to glide smoothly between two such contrasting musical languages, but Roth has been clever, using Bach-inspired Villa-Lobos (Villa Cantilena and Canção Sentimental ) as a bridge, in an arrangement featuring notably Bachian violin guration; then for the ensuing solidly samba repertoire, the orchestra retains not just its classical formation but even its harpsichord. [...] Add palpably high-resolution audio, immersive listening and even some unusual audience colour – the recording derived from two concerts in Rio’s Sala Cecilia Meireles, and the effortless rhythmic snap and lilt of ‘Mas que nada’ gets the public singing along – and this is classy fun."

"L’apassionament constant del Karski Quartet, amb el prestigiós violoncel·lista i director Raphaël Feye, imprimeixen un estil distintiu en els quintets del compositor italià; aporten delicadesa, misteri i una idònia profunditat expressiva, la qual cosa fa d’aquest enregistrament una experiència colpidora."

Album of the Week - "Mat sengen zwee Memorial Albume wëll de Pieter Wispelwey senger Trauer e Ventil ginn. Hie seet selwer, den eenzege Moyen fir weiderhin no fir ze kucken, wier gewiescht der Musek ze erlaben seng opbauend, heelend Wierkung. There is a glimpse of hope in the fact that meaningful things can be said on a wrongly tuned cello. Mee op kee Fall ass et en Album, dee vun der Trauregkeet definéiert gëtt. Hei ginn déi verschidde Facette vun der Trauer exploréiert. Dozou gehéiert och Léift, Hoffnung a Freed dozou."
