Jeu de cartes steals the show…This vivacious performance projects the music’s neoclassical lines cleanly, while avoiding sterility. Gergiev’s lightness of touch enables the wit to sparkle, especially in the contrasting variations of the ‘Second Deal’, all captured in superb surround sound. A pity, then, that Petrushka is periodically scrappy and does not match its protagonist in springing to life. -BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE

Bold local colours are pretty much a given for Petrushka with this orchestra and this conductor in this location. But the vividness and ‘authenticity’ Gergiev as puppeteer is so mindful of the music’s folksy roots that the whole has a coarse-cut immediacy that is highly distinctive. --GRAMOPHONE
