“… Looking at this disc as a whole, it must be said that the focus on works written to accompany plays inevitably means that there will be short tracks that, while no doubt effective in a real theatrical context, are somewhat diminished when heard blind in a domestic environment. Nevertheless, the longer overtures and ballet sequences provide excellent demonstrations of Marschner’s melodic gifts and technical skill, even in the earliest phase of his career… conductor Dario Salvi is a dab hand at this sort of repertoire and he and his Czech musicians deliver their performances as if they had been performing Marschner’s music all their lives. Their overall achievement is enhanced by the clear and detailed recording.”

Rob Maynard – MusicWebInternational.com – 13 February 2023

“… When it came to romantic expressiveness in the orchestra, melodrama and descriptions of situations, Marschner was in his element. With influences from Weber but also from Mendelssohn, his music is inventive and appealing. Dario Salvi launches a complete recording of Marschner’s overtures and other pieces from his stage works. He does so very stylishly, with a stimulating alternation between relaxed and more dramatic music-making, and the Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice responds at a high technical level.” ****
