“The EFO remains a fabulous ambassador for the international language which music represents, given that it is graced by outstanding players from Estonia and the wider international community. Its strings in particular can purr along just above the striations of audibility, only to unleash a mighty and muscular roar, both extremes much in evidence in the two short works framing the two longer ones.“

“… Tchaikovsky’s First Symphony was itself revolutionary in the way it eschewed the weighty traditions tied to Germanic symphonic thinking. Yet it was not the dream-like, poetic impressionism that stood out for me so much as the sheer teeming energy Järvi found in this music.”
