"The performance by Opera Rara is excellent. Mark Elder is one of the great champions of this composer's music, and he and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment interpret it with a blazing conviction that rises to the classically majestic ... The outstanding contribution comes from Michael Spyres, singing with virtuosic bravado as the heroic convert".

"I suspect we will never hear a better performance of this opera ... The Polyeucte of Michael Spyres is remarkable ... clarion top, appealing tone, styles both exclamatory and tender are ideal for the part ... [El-Khoury] has a fine, big lyric voice, at ease with the coloratura she's given, fluent in cantilena, dramatically on-the-money ... A must-have".

"Vurdering: Recording of the month" - "The drama and tension [Elder] builds in the concluding act in this performance is awesome. He inspires soloists and chorus to marvellous effect that convinces me that it is among the finest music Donizetti wrote".

"Vurdering: BBC music opera choice" - "Mark Elder conducts with all the fervour of the late convert, eliciting from his admirable singers and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment a reading of great intensity and refinement ... I can't envisage a rival for many years to come".
