This is Klaus Mäkelä's second album with the Orchestre de Paris in the series honoring the Ballets Russes. The live performances have been showered with glowing reviews in the press: "the superior precision of rhythm, the verve, and the humor gave Petrushka wings," "under the vital direction of a simply magnetic Klaus Mäkelä," and "through his virtuosity, conviction, and evocative power, the interpretation is undeniable."
