"Das Werk stellt durchaus eine Trouvaille dar, wenn es das Repertoire auch nicht entscheidend bereichert, und wurde vom Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal unter Kent Nagano sowie einer guten Sängerriege vorzüglich eingespielt".

"It's a rather curious enterprise in being a collaboration between Honegger and Ibert, with Honegger assigned the more powerful acts (II and IV) ... There are no big tunes, so the folksongs in act V do fall happily on the ear. Act IV is the undoubted high point ... The performance is generally excellent, apart from some rather shrill high notes from the women".

"Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "Conducted with care and palpable affection by Kent Nagano, [this release] boasts a fine, mostly francophone ensemble cast, with not a weak link anywhere. At its centre ... is Anne-Catherine Gillet's Duke, bright in tone and wonderfully subtle ... Marc Barrard is the touchingly funny Flambeau, while Etienne Dupuis makes Metternich all the more sinister by singing his music so beautifully. The orchestral sound is gorgeous, as is the recording itself".
