"Martin offers melting loveliness…in the Adagio, a beautifully balanced wind chorale glides across a sea of bass pizzicatos and Martin gives its Quasi menuetto character a loose, lolloping swing" BBC Music

"I like the Gävle strings' trenchant leap into the development section, and they maintain a fine control of those oscillating figures …Jaime Martín is not seeking hidden depths in the Adagio, which flows in unaffected fashion…it's a disc to raise the spirits" Gramophone
