Press Quotes
Selmeczi's orchestration, for large chamber orchestra, includes only instruments that Liszt most likely would have used himself. Aside from strings and modest woodwind and brass, the percussion is basically limited to snare drum, triangle, and glockenspiel, and Selmeczi takes great pains to preserve the music's fundamental austerity while enhancing its range of color. Aided by some really excellent playing by the Camerata Transsylvanica, this must be counted one of the more sensitive and successful orchestral arrangements in many a moon. The sonics, a little on the dry side but very clear, allow you to hear every detail, opening out well at the climaxes. Highly recommended on all counts.
—David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com
The Camerata Transylvanica is a fine chamber orchestra. There are moments when Selmeczi makes them sound like a café orchestra, with wind and string solos revealing confident professionals. There is more to Liszt than the Liebesträume, as this wistful, delightful program shows. Late Liszt needs more champions. Selmeczi accepts the challenge most admirably.
— Grant Chu Covell, La Folia
