"Vojta moved around in this collection of virtuosic formidabilities like the proverbial fish in water. Stylistically he achieved such a perfect balance in this music..."

"...helping to fashion every orchestral phrase, every modulation, and is so perfect in attack and tone production; when he not only masters every detail but also has the ability to phrase expansively and is literally "long-winded..."

- Süddeutsche Zeitung
