"Christoph Loy at last year's Salzburg Festival ... Loy's 'personal plot story' is simply vague ... Compellingly acted and luminously sung by the marvellous Anne Schwanewilms [Empress] ... Holding it all together ... with assurance by Christian Thielemann ... Even forwarned, you might enjoy the whole experience more than you think".
