The Independent – 25 October 2005, *****
“What a joy to encounter cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras in Dvorak's Cello Concerto, where every phrase sings or sparkles.”
TheStrad Selection – November 2005
"Given the excellent recording quality, I would certainly cite this as one of the finest recordings ever made of this well-worn concerto."
The Sunday Telegraph – 13 November 2005
“Jean-Guihen Queyras gives a ravishing and inspired account of this supreme concerto… I rate this among the best versions of the work on disk.”
Classical CD of the Week, The Daily Telegraph – 22 October 2005
“a performance that is at once exhilaratingly fresh and warmly responsive to the music's mix of autumnal glow and vernal passion.

Classic FM Magazine – December 2005
“Glorious”
The Gramophone – November 2005
“The clarity and bite of the cellist is most refreshing, with consistently clean attack. Perhaps even more remarkable is his imagination in phrasing melodic writing, subtly individual yet never self-conscious, and as in the Trio he adopts a daringly wide dynamic range with pianissimi that have you catching your breath.”
BBC Music Magazine – November 2005
“superb: involved, passionate and always infectious.
“The accompanying performance of the Dumky Trio is completely captivating; indeed their rendition of the four middle movements is among the finest available.”
Classics Today – 31 October 2005
“glorious, and so different from the numerous others available that it more than justifies the inevitable duplication. Jean-Guihen Queyras is a supremely gifted performer seemingly incapable of making an unattractive noise…”
