Paavo Järvi sõnul on Tormis üks olulisemaid eesti heliloojaid ning tema Avamäng tõeliselt unikaalne teos.

The lesser-known Tormis Overture No. 2 is a terrific finale to highlight the continuation of the Russian compositional style. (Kate Rockstrom. 2009-06-04)

... Järvi provides an attractive coupling: Veljo Tormis' brilliantly effective Overture No. 2. Plus, of course, Telarc provides Järvi and the Cincinnati Symphony with astoundingly vivid digital sound that easily surpasses the hollow sound Melodiya provided the Leningrad Philharmonic. (James Leonard)

Veljo Tormis is mostly familiar as a composer of resourceful vocal music but his early Overture No 2, Sibelian Shostakovich à la Tubin, is well worth the occasional outing. It gets a powerful, intense performance here. The main work is less persuasive, sometimes merely listenable when it needs to be riveting. (David Gutman)

Tormis' Overture No 2 is a delightful work and its fellow Estonian brings out its myriad qualities in a reading of sure fire brilliance. As expected from Telarc, the sound is of top drawer quality with the DSD mastering producing first rate sonics. Detailed notes on both works make this CD a most desirable issue. (Gerald Fenech, 2009)

The brooding introduction and articulate high jinks of a faultless finale find their mirror-images respectively in the haunting heart and driving outer-section rhythms of Veljo Tormis’s Overture No. 2. Composed six years after Shostakovich Ten, commended as a potential symphonic starting-point by the older composer and championed by Tormis’s fellow Estonians, Järvi father and son, it provides a blazing and original further incentive to investigate this conductor’s cogent thoughts. (David Nice, 2012-01-20)

Veljo Tormis is best known for his masterful choral music, which has been well documented on disc (and reviewed here). His Overture No. 2 is similarly marvelous, its driving, toccata-like outer sections enfolding an elegiac and lyrical central meditation. It certainly whets the appetite for more music by this composer, and it’s splendidly played here. The sonics are typically vivid, with rich bass, a bright top, and plenty of impact from the winds and heavy brass. Horns and cymbals could have been slightly more present, however. Not a perfect release, then, but a very good one nonetheless. (David Hurwitz)

Admirers of Veljo Tormis’s choral music - and there are many - will perhaps be surprised by the vehemence of his Overture No. 2. It is predominantly dramatic and violent, with a calmer middle section which, often rather sinister in character, threatens at one point to grind to a halt. The composer’s habitual inspiration, folk music, is absent. Jonathan D. Kramer, in the accompanying notes, informs us that Tormis has never composed pure music, but that his work always carries some extra-musical message, sometimes a political one. It is difficult, in listening to this expertly written and vividly orchestrated piece, to avoid thoughts of violent repression, subversion and defiance, and indeed the conductor supports this view in the booklet.

Mit dieser modernen Sichtweise auf Schostakowitsch hat sich Paavo Järvi aber auch der 2. Ouvertüre des Esten Veljo Tormis genähert. Von der Programmdramaturgie bietet sich das Werk schon deshalb an, da es mit einem ähnlichen Furor aufwartet. 1959 wurde die Ouvertüre in Tallinn uraufgeführt, nachdem Schostakowitsch sich gegenüber dem jungen Kollegen lobend über sie geäußert hatte. Was nicht verwunderlich ist: Bis auf die sich manchmal allzu weitschweifig ausbreitenden Melodiebögen steckt genau die gleiche rhythmische Zugkraft und Unberechenbarkeit darin wie im sinfonischen Schaffen des Russen. Obwohl die Ouvertüre daher mehr als epigonenhaft ist, dürfte dieses Bravourstück durchaus seinen Weg auch in die deutschen Abo-Konzertreihen machen. (Guido Fischer, 2009-09-02)
