"It is a work with a clear interesting melody, intelligently processed with a clear line and skillful if heavy orchestration. From the impressions in "Mosaïque Vibrante" Jörgen Dafgård has now traveled towards powerful expressionism that almost takes the listener's breath away. Like several of Jörgen Dafgård's earlier compositions, 'Through Fire and Water' will in all probability take its place in the standard repertoire of contemporary Swedish orchestral music."
