about Jaan Rääts Symphony no 4 "Cosmic":
"Marvellous ! I hope a CD-Box with all symphonies written by Jaan Rääts. My favourite is the seventh, unfortunatly unavailable on youtube (I have it on Melodiya LP). In my humble view, he's the best estonian modern composer !"
Ewald Steyn from South Africa
about Jaan Rääts Symphony no.3:
"Thanks for uploading this brilliant symphony. In my view Jaan Raats and Sergei Slonimsky are easily the greatest living symphonists in the world. Looking forward to the day a complete set of all the Raats symphonies are recorded by a well-known conductor and orchestra. I've been able to buy recordings nrs.5 & 8 and hear recordings of the rest of nrs.1 - 7 on Youtube. Apparently Raats compsoed 10 symphonies. Are there any recordings available of the last two, even if non-commercial or radio recordings, so that we can hear them too?"

about Jaan Rääts piano concerto no.2 op.70:

about Jaan Rääts piano concerto no. 2 op.70:
If you like Cage's "In a Landscape" and/or Pärt "Spiegel im Spiegel", this concerto is for you. Worth listening
Ewald Steyn
about Concerto for Two pianos & orchestra (1986):
"Another brilliant composition by my favorite contemporary composer. Jaan Raats is a musical genius."
James Dudziak
about Jaan Rääts Concerto for Chamber Orchestra no.2:
"Rääts is one of my favorite composers. His First Concerto for Chamber Orchestra, Op. 16, in five movements, is probably the most frequently played piece of his and I like it very much. So I am very pleasantly surprised to find that I like this second Concerto for Chamber Orchestra, in three movements, even more!"
