‘This really is a pretty phenomenal achievement. I urge Lisztians to hear it, and even those who collect the proper versions of the Beethoven Symphonies—it is a marvellous way of hearing them afresh’ ...
‘The combination of devotion and diligence which both [Leslie Howard] and Liszt had lavished on getting to the heart of these inexhaustible works is staggering’ (Classic CD)
‘Howard's performances are, like nearly all in this series, consistently distinguished’ (Fanfare, USA)
