BBC Music Magazine 9 / 98: "The soundworld is very reminiscent of Sibelius and suggests landscape and climate- the composer's wife even commented that she thought she could hear a summer storm in the work (4.Sym.). The Fifth, hailed as an unusual masterpiece, again shows the influence of Sibelius - organic growth and intriguing melodic fragments. Dausgaard's performances combine polish and insight." Fanfare (USA) 2 / 99: "An excellent introduction to a Swedish composer who went his own quiet but deeply puposeful way."

Klassik heute 6 / 2000: "Wieder einmal ist es das Label cpo, das hier Pionierarbeit leistet." FonoForum 8 / 2000: "Farbliche Elemente verbinden sich mit formal übersichtlichen Verläufen zu originellen Partituren. Was scheinbar mühelos und überhaupt nicht nach Handwerk klingt, ist motivisch allerdings straff organisiert." International Record Review 8 / 2000: "The Symphonies are a real discovery. Fine recordings, too." Fanfare 10 / 2000: "This release embodies the fulfillment of this writer's fondest recommendations. A lovely disc." American Record Guide 12 / 2000: "A splendid release from start to the finish."
