"By and large, this is a lovely performance ... There is a well-balanced trio of soloists ... Harnoncourt ... is ever vigilant in defining articulation and pointing character ... Haydn's bucolic late masterpiece evoking the country year, with its summer storm and winter blasts, its hunting and shooting scenes, spinning chorus and harvest celebrations, emerges in all its moods and weathers with a warmth, humour and affection that is captivating".

"Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "This is a splendid, inspiriting performance of a life-giving work. It's superbly executed by a 60-strong VPO, given a quasi-period makeover by Harnoncourt, and the elite of the Vienna State Opera Chorus, whose firm-toned sopranos are a world away from the fruity warblers of old ... The soloists ... are all vivid performers. Florian Boesch is a robust, genial Simon in the earlier parts of the oratorio".
