"...a sonic spectacular. The orchestra sounds full, natural, warm, and
nicely spread out over the soundstage. There is none of the glare that still seems to affect many orchestral digital recordings; even the highest register of the violins sounds smooth and musical. Climaxes are never congested, and the fullest textures still retain clarity... this is simply to enjoy." --Henry Fogel, Fanfare
"Paradoxically, the sound I heard offered a clearer, more 'natural' balance between strings, winds, brass and percussion than my balcony seat in the hall." --John Michel, Skyway News Minneapolis
"...a mound of whipped cream, served with panache. The sheer virtuosity of the playing is a marvel -- this remains one of the great American orchestras -- and the interpretations are clean, light, sometimes tongue-in-cheek" --Michael Fleming, St. Paul Pioneer Press
"Oue's program offers an inventive combination of worthwhile obscurities interlocked with superb versions of popular classics." --Heuwell Tircuit, InTune
