"Brilliant Classics clearly put some calculated thought into their breathless programme of releases. This is the only collection of the complete Schumann concertante works in the catalogue. As such it has real attractions...To assemble the complete concertante works on two CDs Brilliant have obtained licences from both Bayer and Vox. The Cello Concerto responds well to Berger's soulfully dug-in style as well as to his sympathy with introspection. Merz's rather four-square angular approach to the orchestral part is accentuated by the recording quality which gives a startling and pleasing presence to the brass... I have long loved the Konzertstück...The horn quartet acquit themselves with the right blend of boisterousness and poetry. The Fantasie goes well with Ricci with the Gewandhaus and...Frankl’s accustomed integrity and poetry serve the two Introduction and Allegros well. These two discs are packed tight with music. The collection has the attraction of completeness...Quite a bargain." - Rob Barnett, MusicWeb
