"Besonders beeindruckend ist Kenneth Tarver in der anspruchsvollen Titelpartie ... Für Melomanen zweifellos ein Ereignis".

"Benini leads a vivid performance ... The LPO is on good form in Rossini's colourful orchestration ... Just as welcome as the Spanish mezzo [Silvia Tro Santafé] is Kenneth Tarver in the title role ... agile voice ... with a smooth tone".

"The music is very fine, with a minimal amount of secco recitative ... The LPO play beautifully for Maurizio Benini. Kenneth Tarver makes an accomplished Aurelian, a touch of steel in his tone emphasising his authority. In Zenobia's aria 'La pugnai', Catriona Smith colours her voice with both assertiveness and wistfulness before dazzling the listener with her coloratura".
