| “a disc packed full with a connoisseur’s selection of historic recordings. The no-nonsense sound shows the sort of attentive and skilled remastering that makes Divine Art’s vintage Sibelius symphonies disc such a refreshing experience. This is a distinctive entry in the Milhaud lists…more please, Divine Art.” – Rob Barnett (MusicWeb) | |||
| “a fascinating and valuable collection… all very nicely transferred. Well worth investigating.” – Rob Cowan (The Gramophone) | |||
| "I almost feel guilty in declaring this to be one of the finest and most interesting discs I have yet received for review" - Lynne Rene Bayley (Fanfare) | |||
| “an excellent Milhaud anthology… an imaginative collection in superbly restored sound” - Nigel Simeone (International Record Review) | |||
| “This collection of less familiar pieces is welcome. There is much that is enjoyable… the compelling reason to purchase the disc is the Protée Suite [which] for sheer bacchic mayhem is unsurpassed. Divine Art is to be commended for their selection of works and the care taken with their restoration” – Radcliffe (American Record Guide) | |||
| “a very welcome and well-filled CD. [Two of the major works] are an only recording, making this collection extremely valuable for collectors and students of this composer. The Five Studies was, I believe, Paul Badura-Skoda’s first recording, so there is much of importance in this CD. Strongly recommended.” - Robert Matthew-Walker (Musical Opinion) | |||
| “a very welcome offering… splendidly vigorous performance of the Second Symphonic Suite… good notes by Stephen Sutton and Andrew Rose [restoration engineer] has done an excellent job.” – Roger Nichols (Classic Record Collector) | |||
| “ ØØØ (outstanding)” – Penguin Guide to Compact Discs | |||
| "I want to thank everyone involved for putting out this Milhaud collection. There's some priceless stuff on there which may never be re-recorded, so it's all the more important. Thanks again." - WM (Customer from USA) | |||
