“The new release featuring Garrick Ohlsson and the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra under Sir Donald Runnicles… provides some highly personal perspectives on the music… The SACD sound of this Reference Recordings release is one of its very best features: Muenzer and his team produce an ambience that allows listeners at home (whether they have the full SACD experience or the CD version) to become part of an intimate set of performances by a close-knit group that comes together with a sense of old friends making music for the sheer joy of it. … There is a great deal of excellence throughout this exceptionally fine-sounding set… packed with excellence in the playing, thoughtfulness in the interpretations, and a sound world that befits Beethoven by allowing all the pleasures of his musical thinking – and the Ohlsson/Runnicles interpretation of it – to come through with uncompromised quality.”
