�H�kkinen directs from a fortepiano, appropriately so. He uses it to decoarte lines and enhance tonal colour, eschewing the infuriating anachronism of emphasising harmonic rhythm...[in the Andante of Bb3, H�kkinen] inspires his musicians into a softly atmospheric evocation of pastoral spaciousness interspersed with shadows of gentle agitation. Excellent.� --Gramophone Magazine, Awards Issue 2012

�cleverly scored, tuneful�
The performances by the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra under H�kkinen are what might be termed �generic period instrument,� but of high quality. The wind players�oboes, horns, and bassoon�have an attractive timbre and maintain good intonation throughout. The strings are typically dry and thin-toned, but rhythmically precise and alert�
Certainly the music is of fine enough quality that it should appeal to anyone who enjoys the products of the First Viennese School. And who doesn�t? Excellent sonics flatter the players, and the decision not to use an obtrusive harpsichord continuo was very smart�this is a very recommendable release. --ClassicsToday.com, July 2012
