"Warner's production is worthy of this magnificent work, and she has secured disciplined and stylish performances from her cast. Visually it is both stunning and haunting ... So much depends on the role of Aschenbach, and here John Graham-Hall does a fine job ... Andrew Shore is superb; he manages to give each one an individuality ... So is this the best Death in Venice on DVD? I suspect it is, for it is very fine".

"Benjamin Brittens sidste opera blev "Døden i Venedig" ... På en ny dvd fra Naxos, optaget på Madrids Teatro Real i december 2014, yder den britiske tenor John Daszak en formidabel præstation i hovedpartiet, både scenisk og vokalt. Iscenesættelsen ved Willy Decker er på én gang nøgtern og fantasifuld, og det spanske orkester yder brittens raffinerede partitur fuld retfærdighed, ikke mindst imponeres man over træblæsernes indsats".

"After so many disappointing productions, it's exciting to watch one which casts a lurid new light on this disturbing opera ... freeing the production from the demands of straight realism ... All this, though, is icing on a cake whose substance is the outstanding performances by John Daszak, exuding well-meaning civilised weariness as Aschenbach, and the glinty-eyed, sinuous Leigh Melrose who plays and sings the various sinister characters who by turns torment and seduce Aschenbach".

"Denne subjektivt farvede eller forvrængede realitet har fået det helt rigtig touch med Deckers instruktion og Wolfgang Gussmanns kostumer og scenografi. På dvd'en glemmer vi operamediets usandsynligheder og føler "ægte filmmagi" ... Aschenbachs dødsmærkede krise står skrevet med sved og ængstelse i den britiske tenor John Daszaks ansigt. Han takler flot den til tider lidt kringlede melodik, som Britten beder om ... Teatro Reals Orkester under Alejo Péres er hele tiden på pletten, velbalanceret i forhold til sangerne".

"Above all, every colour, timbre and texture of this richly imagined score comes blazing through under Gardner's baton, from the urgent menace of the first act to the lumonous devastation of the second".

"Både det musikalske, det dramatiske og den visuelle side fungere upåklageligt ... Med John Graham-Hall er hovedpartiet stærkt besat ... han har den rette Britten-tenorklang ... ENOs orkester demonstrerer overlegent, hvordan man realiserer Brittens idéer".

"Decker weiss mit dem Werk souverän umzugehen. Die stimmungsvoll-idealistische Inszenierung mit den komplex ineinander übergleitenden Bühnenbildern Wolfgang Gussmanns offenbart Können und Imagination".

"The staging is intelligent, spare, rather dark ... For the most part Decker's imagery is focused on probing symbolic figures of death and sexuality ... [He] does break new ground in how far he is ready to bring the story's sexual undercurrent to the surface ... Daszak comes to the role of Aschenbach with more voice than most of his predecessors ... Melrose offers vivid characterisations in the nemesis roles ... Costanzo sings a suitably ethereal Apollo".

"No other DVD has presented the psychological dilemma posed by Thomas Mann and Britten with such intesity".

"The visual keynote here is an austere simplicity ... Edward Gardner's judgement of dramatic mood is unerring throughout ... Leading the cast is the magnificent John Graham-Hall, whose Aschenbach is an achievement to set beside his career-launching Albert Herring ... also a vivid camera subject ... I'll simply welcome the ENO production and recommend it heartily".
