"... has practically everything going for it and sounds great ..."
- Fanfare
"These overtures amplify the qualities embodied in the performance of the symphony ... abetted by excellently judged sound, the results are biting, driving, refined and brilliantly exciting."
- MusicWeb International
"... Järvi’s performance is an absolutely splendid one: markedly more propulsive and, to my ears, more excitingly cogent than any other I have encountered, yet with no loss in terms of technical sophistication or affectionate glow. Playing of beguiling sheen also illuminates all five items with which the symphony has been most generously coupled ... production wraps you in a warm cocoon of sound. Collectors with a sweet tooth will find this irresistible."
- Gramophone
This is the second volume in a series from Neeme Järvi and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande dedicated to the orchestral music of Swiss-born composer Joachim Raff. Although a highly popular and prolific composer during his day, his works quickly fell out of the repertoire after his death and are largely forgotten today. This second installment features the Rhapsody Abends and a number of overtures and preludes alongside the Symphony No. 5, subtitled Lenore.
