"Offenbachs Orchestersttücke erklingen temperamentvoll und mit einigem Esprit. Aber im angedickten Klang der oderstädtischen Konzerthalle ... fehlen ein wenig Elastizität und federnde Feinheit"

"Offenbach's overtures are no more than potpourris with little attention paid to making subtle links between the tunes, only a few of which on this disc rise above the beta plus mark ... There's nothing amiss with the playing or recording, and probably listening to just a couple of tracks might lighten a dull winter morning. If that's all you're after, go for it"
