"pan and syrinx" was particularly well received. writing in "politken", charles kjerulf first alluded to its "gallic, quite debussyesque" quality before praising its feeling of renewal, development and mastery. he ended even more gushingly: "for each note that was added it became more and more sublime. and when in the end the very highest and very lowest notes of the orchestra were sounded right up against each other in the violin harmonics and double-basses... then the rejoicing broke out quite spontaneously." the other reviews were also positive.
