Forum Opera
★★★ (out of 4) “Conducted with the liveliness and lightness that suit Dario Salvi, the entire concerto can be listened to and re-listened with great pleasure.”
— Jean Michel Pennetier, January 2021 (Original in French)
-
Pizzicato
“Dario Salvi conducts the overtures and interludes with great verve. The Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice performs Auber’s music in a very lively, playful, occasionally even frivolous manner.”
— Guy Engels, August 2020 (Original in German)

Classical Music Daily
“Dario Salvi and the Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice give highly enjoyable performances of these sparkling works, and although almost all of them are world premiere recordings, the crispness, attack and minute attention to detail give the impression that they have been around for quite a while.”
— Gerald Fenech, October 2020

“Charming music, well worth reviving. The whole ensemble seem to be lovingly engaged in its presentation. The performances are crystal clear – wonderfully articulated and lovingly brought to life in what seems to be an ideal acoustic.”
— Gary Higginson
-
Stretto
“Striking melodies and haunting passages abound in these overtures and entr'acts contrast with the understated but fragrant Iberian color in the overture to "Léocadie".
— Michel Dutrieue, February 2021 (Original in Dutch)

Klassik
“Dario Salvi teases out the orchestra's charm and achieves elegant, delicate interpretations with the Czech Chamber Orchestra Pardubice.”
