Review:

"Overture is probably Kuhlau’s best-known work....Maga gets pleasing results....very good performances"

(Penguin Guide 3 stars)

"Denmark was his country of adoption... Overture... fresh and engaging work which owes much to Mendelssohn....Concertino for two horns ....a "serious divertimento", as Antony Hodgson puts it in his excellent notes....Lanzky-Otto and Ree Wekre are first rate, while Michael Ponti is no less admirable in the Piano Concerto."
