“Hrůša, served by wonderfully refined orchestral playing from the Bamberger Symphoniker, has a great deal to say about all these works. The two Dvořák symphonies are particularly exciting. Hrůša injects lots of energy and colour into the outer movements of the Sixth.” – BBC Music Magazine

“The performances are hugely enjoyable for their lyrical warmth and attention to detail. Hrůša favours tempos that allow the music to breathe.” – Gramophone
