Press comments

FonoForum 3 / 1991 (zu The Tempest): "Die Einspielung atmet lebhaften Theatergeist und ist weit entfernt von historisierender Lehrhaftig- keit. Es wird sauber und mit dem für Gardiner typischen spontanen Engagement musiziert. Das Klangbild des digitalen Remastering über- zeugt durch räumliche Präsenz."
