" Kleibers classic performance sets an all-time stand ... Although it is 26 years old, it has lost nothing of its power to delight eye and ear, and is in almost every way superior to Carlos Kleibers 1994 remake in Vienna. Schenks direction is finely judged, strong in detail, in Jürgen Roses handsome, traditional sets. Eschewing fashionable modernities, its has stood the test of time ... The picture comes up fresh on DVD and the sound is mostly first-rate, as is the video direction. This is a must-buy".
