The Guardian: 5 star review
It’s compelling from first note to last, and could hardly be better played by Kopatchinskaja and the Luxembourg orchestra under Gimeno.
Diapason: 5 star review
..This meeting of Kopatchinskaja – who leads the dance and seems to invent her path at each instant, a composer who plays with fire but doesn’t singe his wings, and Gimeno’s white-hot orchestra, is highly exciting.

Grammophone
There is no mistaking the resourcefulness of his rhythmic patterning and his exhilarating capacity for bringing raw and refined materials into conjunction in orchestral writing, which come across strongly in these well-conceived and technically immaculate recordings.
Musicweb International: Recommended
While the rest of the programme is definitely worth knowing, the concerto is more than enough justification to acquire this disc. It hardly needs mentioning that the sound is also state-of-the-art, even in the two channels in which I auditioned it.
