Fono Forum2014 OktoberByByManuel Brug2014 Oktober"Das alles gelingt in dieser mitgeschnittenen Konzertaufführung ... mit mustergültiger Perfektion. Ulf Schirmer und sein Münchner Rundfunkorchester vollführen eine pralle wie präzise Wiedergabe dieser quecksilbrig-frechen, stimmungsschwankenden Musik ... Simone Schneider durchgeselt die Christine mit melodischem Aplomb".
BBC music magazine2015 JanuaryByByDavid Nice2015 January"Ulf Schirmer's conducting is remarkable less for effulgence than clear textures, over-assisted by woodwind-heavy engineering".
International record review2014 OctoberByByHugh Canning2014 October"Although I have read excellent reports of Schneider ... I was unprepared for the wit, vitality and vocal allure of her Christine ... All committed Straussians will want this set".
The gramophone2014 NovemberByByHugo Shirley2014 November"In good, clear sound, this is an excellent, enjoyable set, and one that, in its way, might prove to be one of the most important releases of the Strauss year".
