"Neo-classical Stravinsky, at his wittiest in Jeu de cartes and at his purest in Orpheus. A new recording of the latter is to be welcomed with open arms. "..." Enter Jarvi who respects the score's purity without ever seeming detached, who has an orchestra capable of lightness of touch and tone without sounding undernourished, and a recording balance that manages intimacy, transparency and depth. "..." The bass drum certainly makes its presence felt in Jarvi's Jeu de cartes, a reading of grace, humour, and in the final 'deal', tremendous agility. "..." A very desirable disc." - Gramophone 3/1992, John Steane
