“Mertanen's bravura is commanding, as, more importantly, are his tenderness and spontaneous poetic response...The Gavle Symphony Orchestra conducted by Hannu Koivula also play gloriously...Everything is given with a living and breathing romantic impulse, is essentially "live", and you will sense a special warmth and spontaneity from Janne Mertanen.” --Gramophone Magazine, May 2014
"...gorgeously played and may find an appreciative audience. Both works are bathed in warm, resonant acoustics that couldn't be more apposite. Thanks to Alba for efforts to keep the surround SACD format reasonable." --American Record Guide
