‘Beautifully recorded, it is played with clarity and zest. (Just listen to the clarinet propelling the Chamber Symphony's Scherzo.) Ilan Volkov, 31 this year … is clearly a man to watch. In sum, this is a distinguished addition to a neglected composer's growing catalog’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘Leave it to Hyperion to come up with another first-class presentation of forgotten but fascinating music … shimmering sonic fabrics flow into powerfully ecstatic climaxes, often with dancelike rhythms predominating … the performance … is superb in every way, and Hyperion's engineering is some of the best on standard CD today. Highly recommended to the orchestrally curious’ (Audiophile Audition, USA)

‘Superbly played and recorded … a 'best of the year' release’ (Classical Source)

‘Powerfully projected by the present performers and makes one eager to hear more orchestral works by this fascinating figure’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘Ilan Volkov's beautifully conducted recording’ (The Guardian)

‘This revelatory new release from a major orchestra … I attribute the fact that the work seems far more epic in scale than its 11-odd minutes would suggest to its teeming wealth of detail; there is never a dull moment, and once again credit must go to Volkov and the Scottish team for allowing all of it to rise to the surface without ever compromising the work's internal balance. This is resonantly vital music, performed with passion and beautifully recorded by Hyperion’ (International Record Review)

‘The music shimmers through two massive climaxes before closing in the rapt hush with which it began. The BBC Scottish SO's performances are simply wonderful; full praise to Ilan Volkov for two well prepared and keenly felt interpretations. The sound is superlative, too’ (Gramophone)

‘Roslavets is a most compelling musical presence. For those interested in digging beneath the surface of 20th-century Russian culture, musical and social, grab this disc’ (American Record Guide)

‘Marc-André Hamelin, the thinkers' virtuoso, has restored a major composer to history. Wonderful music … [the] performances are a miracle of dexterity and understatement’ (Soundscapes, Australia)

‘Canadian super-pianist Marc-André Hamelin captures their individuality and multilayered complexity with superb aplomb’ (The Irish Times)

‘This finely recorded recital confirms Hamelin's place as one of the most enterprising and virtuosic performers of our day’ (Gramophone)

‘Roslavets is ideally served by Hamelin who relishes the elaboration and sorts it out with his customary acuteness of ear for quality and balance of sound’ (BBC Record Review)
