"CDs des Monats: Welch eine musikalische Klangreise ... Es ist eine Auswahl, die die tonlichen Besonderheiten der Flöte vor allem in der unteren und mittleren Lage ausdrucksvoll zur Geltung bringt. Natürlich fehlt es nicht an virtuosen Effekten in allen Registern, aber der romantisch-dunkle Grundton des Programms ist wunderbar komponiert ... Neben der unglaublichen tonlichen vielfalt und musikalischen Ausdruckskraft gerät seine [Pahud] technisch-virtuose Souveränität fast zur Nebensache".

"Concerto choice: Emmanuel Pahud consistently delivers high-quality recordings with a twist ... 'Dreamtime' is similarly creative, programming a wide selection of concertos and concertante pieces themed around different experiences of that state ... Perfectly paced by Pahud ... The Munich Orchestra handles the extremities in dynamics and textures well".

"This album's title, 'Dreamtime', suggests a programme of quiet listening - a slew of soothing adagios, perhaps - but it's actually nothing of the sort ... Whether Mozart had a 'Romantic vision' for his Andante is debatable but Pahud's sweetly expressive and quite leisurely reading is certainly evocative ... Matched by the Munich Radio Orchestra, who play with character and commitment under Ivan Repušić".
