"This Ondine release confirms (...) Magnus Lindberg as one of the most talented, exciting, and challenging young composers. (...) The performance (...) are extraordinary, committed, and expressive. This disc is a must-have for those interested in the direction of contemporary music." --American Record Guide, July/August 1998
"This is contemporary music at its most approachable without trying to mesmerize its audience into submission, and I urge anyone who feels alienated by the extremes of late-twentieth-century composition to try it." --Gramophone, March 1998
"Lindberg's recent compositions are both challenging and accessible, and this is a superb disc." --Andy Hamilton, Classic CD, December 1997, *****
"Magnus Lindberg is undoubtedly the world's best composer of his generation." --Patrick Szersnovicz, Le Monde de la Musique, Choc du mois
