'The Prague Academia Wind Quintet are fully at home in this agreeable music and these musicians convey their own pleaure in the composer's ready fund of invention. The excellent natural sound helps give this disc a special niche in the catalogue' (Gramophone)

'Will doubtless take a place among my favorite CDs. The wit and charm of both the music and the playing had me laughing in delight at many points. If you haven't discovered Reicha's music - and even if you have - don't miss this recording' (Audio, USA)
