“Thierry Fischer seems totally attuned to Françaix’s idiom, and the engineers have captured the excellent acoustics of Belfast’s Ulster Hallto colourful effect. The Ulster Orchestra plays with wit, point and vitality: it can rarely if ever have sounded better on record” BBC Music Magazine

“This is the third Françaix CD from Thierry Fischer and the Ulster Orchestra. I’ll extend the praise they’ve already received from other reviewers by saying that these performances are polished and idiomatic.” International Record Review

“It’s the conductor Thierry Fischer’s third Françaix disc with the Ulster Orchestra, and the players now have the composer’s style off to a T” The Times
