“Virtuoso flute concertos played with great authenticity and consummate musicianship... Feinstein has acquired a formidable command of Bach’s very particular style. The ‘Sturm und Drang’ movements bristle and threaten, while those in ‘Empfindsamer Stil’ charm with deeply felt sentiment. Feinstein is a graceful player and decisive conductor. Taking their cue from him, the string orchestra members produce cleanly articulated and shapely phrases. The balance between the flute and string orchestra is always beautifully judged and the interplay between them most sensitive. ” GRAMOPHONE
	“They play with a lightness and delicacy, yet also with a security and force that are a sheer delight. As for Feinstein himself, his flute-playing is beyond praise - I have never heard better.” FANFARE (USA)
	“Martin Feinstein, with his cool, limpid tone, is an adroit soloist, articulating deftly and negotiating the fireworks of the D minor Concerto’s finale with aplomb.” BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE
	“Their approach to phrasing and vibrato was intrinsically stylish. Feinstein's dexterous flute playing was bright, clear and well articulated and his performance was exuberant.” EARLY MUSIC TODAY
	“The recording is excellent... this is an easy first choice” CLASSIC CD MAGAZINE
