"Urgently eloquent." -- Gramophone [4/1987]

"Concentrated expressive intensity." -- Gramophone [11/1990]

"The Wanderer Fantasy is one of Schubert's most striking architectural achievements, and Perahia's intellectually rewarding account of it offers a vivid portrayal of the music's constantly evolving thematic structure." -- Gramophone [10/1995]

"Though the inevitable snags of live recording come out the more in the CD format—stagenoises, intrusive applause, odd balances—the gains far outweigh any irritations. With the chorus as protagonist in Act 1—Mussorgsky's Boris one of Puccini's influences there, I have long felt—the extra clarity and sense of presence on CD is particularly important. The chorus here sounds cleaner with no congestion, and this is as impressive a live recording of a heavily-textured opera as one could want. Anyone who prefers listening to opera live can safely choose this, for not only is it a fine line-up of soloists, Maazel is here at his warmest and most sensuously persuasive, not for a moment chilly in the way that he can be in the studio."

Gramophone [10/1985] Review of Complete Opera

Mozart: Sonatas & Variations

Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra/Sir Colin Davis. CBS MK 42103 [The Creatures of Prometheus, The Ruins of Athens, Egmont, Coriolan, Leonore Nos. 1 and 3, and Fidelio] (released 1986)

Colin Davis presides over somewhat more reserved – one might almost say chaste – accounts of seven Beethoven overtures, though his readings are in no sense underpowered or lacking in point. In fact, Sir Colin gets the rhetoric exactly right, and the Bavarian orchestra turns in performances of splendid authority and bite. The sound is well balanced, with just about ideal weight and atmosphere, and the image detailed and spacious. – Ted Libbey, author of The NPR Guide to Building a Classical CD Collection.
