"An eminently recommendable survey of Glinka's orchestral output...playing of the USSR Symphony is nothing if not expert and idiomatic...performances embrace a considerable time span, but generally very good indeed."
Penguin Guide
"...firm and lively as one would expect from Svetlanov, and from a Russian orchestra very much on home ground. The recordings do full justice to Glinka's beautiful scoring. An enjoyable record, not to be missed by lovers of Russian music."
