"Few will resist the colourful panoply of instrumental movement, and the fine introductory Symphony to Act II".

"Interpretatorisch setzt Christophers seine Neigung zu einem eher ätherischen Klangbild in Chor und Orchester fort, während seine Solisten auffallend robuster klingen und mehr vibrato einsetzen als früher".

"A fine scene for the magician Ismeron ... is suavely done by Eamonn Dougan. The band play adroitly in a few curtain tunes and the Overture ... High tenor Matthew Long dispatches Fame's 'Begone, curst fiends of Hell' impressively ... This is an engaging advocacy of Purcell's final and seemingly incomplete opera".
