The concerti "are given committed performances by Ingolf Turban, a young talent not short of either lyrical tone or dazzling virtuosity. Busoni's concerto is really the most interesting piece with its occasional parody of Beethoven and Brahms, its fiendishly difficult finale and some wonderful orchestral solos managed masterfully by the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra." Andrew Clements in The Guardian (Classical CD; retrieved 30 July 2014]) says, "...Frank Peter Zimmermann's neat, intelligent violin playing is a delight...".

- Prefers Donohoe's recording to those by Banfield, Ohlsson, and Ogdon, although he thinks all are worthwhile. "Busoni's Piano Concerto is renowned for being the longest in the repertory but it hasn't struck me so forcibly before that it's not a minute longer than it needs to be. Its ideas are big—try timing any of its principal themes—and in this reading one is continually surprised, looking at a watch or the display on the CD player, at how much time has elapsed. The first movement, after all, is no more than an expansive exposition of two themes: does it really play for nearly 16 minutes? This performance has in Mark Elder a conductor accustomed, after his work on the English National Opera's Doktor Faust, to thinking on a Busonian time-scale. It was also recorded in the grand acoustic of the Royal Albert Hall in London during a Prom concert in 1988, and there is a distinct sense that the players are aware of a space around them that is big enough for the music."

- "Busoni's Piano Concerto is caught in a spontaneous sweep beginning to end, turning volatile in the inner flanking movements—Johansen's Tarantella may be the swiftest on discs. Despite the brisk pace, there is a profound resonance with the mystery of the central Pezzo serioso and the concluding Cantico.... Garlanded in tape hiss and captured in flat, boxy/tubby mono—not nearly as distracting to hear as to read about—this performance wings through a half-century with remarkable detail, balance, and clarity. The ear adjusts, caught by an irresistible élan. A prime document of Busoniana, then, but something more—a rare conjunction of genius under favoring stars."

- "De uitvoering door de Italiaanse pianist Sandro Ivo Bartoli munt uit in stijvolle articulatie, ritmische precisie, heel mooi gefraseerd, met de beide handen in volmaakt evenwicht (het spreekt voor zich dat in deze bewerkingen het muzikaal soortelijk gewicht van de linkerhand vaak dominant moet zijn en hier ook is). Dit zijn monumentale vertolkingen van monumentale muziek, en bovendien bijzonder fraai opgenomen."

- Plays with the Jarnach ending of the final scene, but the Beaumont version is included and can be used to replace the Jarnach version via a playlist or CD programming.
- Recommended in 2008 Gramophone Guide
- Praises the inclusion of the Beaumont completion of the second half of the final scene, but prefers Jarnach's more melodramatic ending, even though it does not accurately reflect Busoni's intentions. "Dietrich Henschel displays considerable style and stamina during his two extended monologues in the opera's final stages, and although his singing isn't entirely free of straining for effect, or of bluster, the character's tortured humanity is vividly conveyed." "Begley tackles the many demanding aspects of the part with panache and, in the scintillating ballad, wit and menace are in perfect balance."
- Recommended in 2008 Penguin Guide
- "Dietrich Henschel may not be a searching or weighty interpreter, but the clarity and incisiveness of his singing are most impressive, leading to a noble account of the death scene, one of the passages expanded in the Beaumont version. He is well contrasted with the powerful Mephistopheles of Kim Begley, a tenor role that is Wagnerian in its demands."
- Reviewed by Joseph Horowitz in The New York Times, May 7, 2000. Retrieved 27 October 2009.
- "This is in every way a thoughtful, conscientious and polished presentation, yet (alas) it feels small and tight." "FAUST and Mephistopheles are mega-roles. Faust ranges from existential turbulence to erotic bravado and terminal repose. Mr. Henschel sounds like a scaled-down version of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau in the 1970 Deutsche Grammophon recording.... Busoni's Mephistopheles is cunning, edgy, commanding: a character-tenor with heft. Mr. Begley is merely a Loge. William Cochran, in the Leitner recording, applies a Siegmund voice to the part; the results are labored but properly formidable."

- Rickards finds that Hampson gets off to a poor start, "but audibly grows into the role" and Gregory Kunde steals the show as Mephistopheles. He strongly criticizes the use of Jarnach's (as opposed to Beaumont's) completion of the final scene as a misrepresentation of Busoni's intentions, and says it "stylistically jars the moment it starts." He also objects to the omission of the Students' serenade to Wagner at the beginning of the final scene. "Wagner's replacement of Faust as Rector is included in the sung text and meaningless without its representation onstage. Musically, the cut section provides vital contrast between the defiance of the second scene's close and the denouement."
