"If Florez's excellent performance, both vocal and dramatic, feels like the reison d'être of the production, then he's surrounded by a very fine cast in the other major assignments ... Conductor Michele Mariotti shows a keen understanding of Rossini's grand style, and there are excellent contributions from the Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro Comunlae in Bologna".

"The presence of Juan Diego Flórez, the finest stage Arnold of modern times, here at the peak of his powers ... Vick is at his best directing one-to-one encounters ... Alaimo's burly Tell looks every inch Rossini's Tell: patriot, father, man of peace. And Marina Rebeka is a persuasive Mathilde ... Michele Mariotti's conducting of his Bologna forces is robust".
