“Olympian interpretation […], a lifetime's wisdom is here, don't miss it.” BBC Music magazine

“With her, the sun sometimes breaks out from behind the clouds and bathes the sounds in a peaceful, warm light in which every motif, every phrase gains a clear contour. And sometimes the music seems to float in a dancing lightness, without the tear that is always mixed with the smile in Schubert's music drying up completely. Great!” Die Bühne

“Schubert with remarkable symphonic scope and sound plasticity!” Diapason

"No question about it, Leonskaja’s Schubert on Warner (her Schubert recordings for Teldec are completely different) should provide you with a lifetime’s worth of musical nourishment, and the sound, now as before, is superb." - Gramophone Magazine, December 2022.
