In terms of the actual performance, the beautiful recorded sound, and the warmth of the interpretation, this recording belongs on the short list of the many versions available. (...) Eschenbach's completion of the cycle The Seasons (...) makes it among the finest in the catalog.
Peter Burwasser, Fanfare Magazine, September/October 2007

The famous strings of the Philadelphia Orchestra receive their full due in both the original scoring and in the hi-res surround mix. (...) Polyhymnia International handled the recording and it’s of demo quality.
John Sunier, Audiophile Audition, October 2007

Ravishingly played, it's a performance as much about desire and memory as about fate, with a particularly spectral account of the first movement and an unusually erotic version of the Andantino. (...) As before, however, the real treat The Seasons, which Eschenbach plays with such exquisite grace and poetic intensity that he sweeps away all those commonly held assumptions that the work itself is slight.
Tim Ashley, The Guardian, June 8, 2007

Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4 from Philadelphia begins with a suitably emphatic first movement, but receives such convincingly personal treatment in subsequent movements that, with the added appeal of excellent surround sound, the release is seriously competitive in the vast Tchaikovsky discography.
