 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
The Divertimento (each movement of which is taken slightly slower than by the Liszt Chamber Orchestra on Hungaroton) is given a committed and warm-hearted performance . . . . The orchestra's strong rhythmic accentuation pays dividends in the ''Polka'' of the Romanian folkdances, which thereby acquires a heightened exotic flavour.

The Orpheus wind-players' conception of the Janacek is more delicate and intimate than that of their Los Angeles/Delos rivals; and in this they are helped by a horn with a less wide-bore tone and by a recording which is lighter in general and which produces a more equal instrumental blend. The whole thing has an engaging air of freshness and spontaneity in its treatment of Janacek's quirkily unexpected juxtapositions.

-- Lionel Salter, Gramophone [4/1986]
