Press comments

M. W. Busch in orpheus 6 / 99: "Kent Nagano nutzt Brittens große Kunst der Instrumentation, um alle Sektionen seines Orchesters zu bester Geltung zu bringen. So werden nicht nur die Vor- und Zwischenspiele oder die Szene mit der verhinderten Seeschlacht zum reinen Hörgenuß. Auch in den Gesangsszenen fällt immer wieder auf, wie flexibel und einfühlsam das Orchester die Sänger begleitet. Für mich war das eine der schönsten Aufnahmen der letzten Monate."
