(Seht die Sonne is) a weighty but emotionally direct masterpiece (...).
Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle, 5 January 2012, 'Top 10 CDs: Last 50 years of orchestral compositions'
Antikt klotter sätts i körverket Graffiti till musik med arkaiska och senromantiska drag. Förstklassigt utförande även av det virtuosa orkesterhantverket i Seht die Sonne.
Lars Hedblad, Svenska Dagbladet, 15 december 2010, 'Musikaliska fullträffar 2010'
Packende Aufnahme (...). Herausragende Klangregie ist man von einem wie Lindberg gewohnt (...) Aber auch die Aufnahmetechnik und vor allem die Interpreten tragen zu diesem absolut überzeugenden Klangereignis bei.
Christian Schaper, Klassik.com, 23.8.2010, Klassik.com 'Empfehlung'
Graffiti is as intelligent as it is beautiful, appealing, and exciting (...). Seht die Sonne (...) is an absolutely bewitching piece of orchestral writing. (...) The performances are vivid, even thrilling, the engineering outstandingly lifelike and (...) well-balanced. Hot stuff!
David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com, June 2010, Disc of the Month, Artistic Quality 10 / Sound Quality 10
"Seht die Sonne" (...) is as massive and solidly built as anything else in Lindberg's catalog. What's different is the melodic grace of the writing and the gleaming transparency of the orchestral textures, beautifully rendered by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra under conductor Sakari Oramo.
Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle, May 9, 2010
The orchestra under Sakari Oramo is a treasure trove of colour.
Neil Smith, BBC Music Magazine, May 2010, Performance *****, Recording ****
In der Tat: Magnus Lindberg ist als Komponist ein wahrer Virtuose.
Stephan Schwarz, Fono Forum, Mai 2010
Magnus Lindberg nous montre encore que l'orchestre est toujours une source d'inspiration sans commune mesure!
Pierre-Jean Tribot, ResMusica.com, 7.4.2010, La Clef ResMusica.com
Seht die Sonne on (..) jälleen yksi fantastinen retki tuntemattomaan (...). Sakari Oramo ja RSO sytyttävät Lindbergin partituurin liekkeihin kkuin orkestraalisen merkkitulen.
Antti Häyrynen, Rondo klassinen musiikkilehti, 4/2010
Oramo and his Helsinki forces give both works terrific performances.
Martin Anderson, Finnish Musical Quarterly, 1/2010
Two of Magnus Lindberg's recent works, among the most substantial that he has composed to date, make a logical pairing. Taken together they show how effective his recent style is in creating large-scale musical structures.
Andrew Clements, The Guardian, March 25, 2010
Lindberg's conviction, and technical resourcefulness, in creating this sound world can inspire rapturous enjoyment or alienated bafflement (...). The effect is always upbeat, exuberant and laid down with immense panache by the Finnish forces involved, in spectacularly vivid sound.
Arnold Whittall, Gramophone, March 2010
