"... an appealing Eastern-flavoured musical salad ... Foster directs warm, attentively phrased performances, often rich in detail ... an impressive show of vividly recorded percussion and plenty of tenderness ..."
- Gramophone

"Only a really grumpy listener could fail to enjoy this ... a well-chosen potpourri ... if the program intrigues you and, if you enjoy having fun, it should!, you have no reason whatever to hesitate. A solid 75 minutes of pure pleasure."
- MusicWeb International

"... the work's various solos are tastefully given, with admirable precision, but it is more in the élan of the tutti at full speed that the orchestra impresses ... a most persuasive compilation, both for its excellent playing and for its intelligent and unusual programming."
- International Record Review

Conductor Lawrence Foster's own Hungarian heritage comes to the forefront as he leads the Gulbenkian Orchestra on this collection of Hungarian orchestral works, principally by Kodály and Bartók, with one rarity, the Concert Românesc by György Ligeti.
