Lipinski: Symphonies Nos. 2 and 3 & Moniuszko: Bajka (Oh! Orchestra; Dirk Vermeulen) [NIFCCD143]:
"They may be classed as 'juvenilia' [Lipinski Symphonies 1 & 2], but they have a Haydnesque drive and energy that is quite distinctive and exilharating in these performances by the {Oh!} Orchestra under Dirk Vermeulen. The period-instrument colours sound wonderful, not least the oboe solos in the Menuetto of the B flat symphony played with poise and freedom. […] These performances are irresistible." - BBC Music Magazine, 5 STARS
