Press comments

F. Nierhaus in Audio 7 / 86:"Jessye Norman ver- leiht dieser Rolle die überzeugende künstleri- sche und menschliche Größe. Ist ihre Gestal- tungskraft das eigentliche Erlebnis dieser Auf- nahme, so fallen dank des prachtvollen Musi- zierens aller Beteiligten stilistische Vorbehalte nicht ins Gewicht. Hohe Bewertungen für Inter- tation und (CD-)Klangqualität."
