"Barenboim also achieves a lyrical, romantic warmth that perhaps doesn't always come through in his performances with the German orchestras ... although the upper register of the role takes her [Waltraud Meier] to an uncomfortable place in her voice, her overall performance is in a different league to most of the rest of the cast. She is as ever a compelling actress ... A gripping release".
