The recordings do full justice to Glinka’s beautiful scoring. An enjoyable record, not to by missed by lovers of Russian music”. (Gramophone) “all done with tremendous character and verve: the Waltz-Fantasie, written for one of the many young ladies who turned the composer’s head , is unfurled with just the right amount of insouciance and lashings of charm.” (MusicWeb International)
