Strongly recommended.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<em>Jerry Dubin<br \/>\n<\/em>\u201c\u2026. He [Weiner] mixes wit and sentiment with a creative use of contrapuntal devices, and memorable thematic interest. He creates light, memorable classical music without dumbing down the result. Neeme J\u00e4rvi is on his best behavior here, phrasing with great care. The Estonian NSO in turn provides excellent blend between the sections, and a velvety warmth to the strings in such movements as the Second Divertimento\u2019s\u00a0<em>andante sostenuto<\/em>\u00a0that could rival any other orchestra \u2026The sound is crisp and transparent, conveying all the color Weiner provides and J\u00e4rvi puts on display.
