"The idea of arranging some of his songs for solo stringed instrument and small orchestra occurred to Tchaikovsky himself... Mr Breiner must have studied the composer's orchestral music well because his scorings are all idiomatic and tasteful and his sensitive conducting cooperates beautifully with the soloist... [Nishizaki's] rendition of 'Why?' soars longingly and expectantly, 'My Spoilt Darling' is coquettish and playful, and 'Why Did I Dream of You?' and 'He Loved Me So Much' build to a little genuine passion, but nothing that would be too overwrought for polite evening-salon company. 'I Opened the Window' is soaring and rhapsodic... The soloist makes the most of the soaring, ardent lines of 'Night'... 'Pimpinella' ends things on a coy, playful note." • American Record Guide, April 2002
