Notes & Reviews:

"For once, a program that lives up to its title. These works are indeed pearls, and the performances gems. This is the sort of music that Neumann and the orchestra could play in their sleep. But they were wide awake in 1983, when this was recorded, and the performances could hardly be better...the playing of the orchestra [is] exactly what one would expect from one of Europe's greatest....Overall, this is a delightful program that I will definitely listen to often..." -McClain, ARG
