"In the concert last autumn, after which this studio recording was made, Ermonela Jaho gave a dazzling performance as Zazà ... On disc Jaho is just as good, and Zazà's character comes through vividly ... Benini's pacy conducting makes the BBCSO sound stylish and sumptuous".

"In this recording of the composer's revised 1919 version of the accomplished score, conductor Maurizio Benini brings a light touch to his micro-management of BBC forces. Ermonela Jaho offers full emotional commitment, seizing the title role's considerable opportunities. She's finely partnered by Riccardo Massi as the duplicitous Milio, with Stephen Gaertner focused as her worldly-wise stage-partner Cascart".

"[Jaho's voice] conveys the character's emotions powerfully ... Massi sings with wonderful, old-school charm ... Gaertner is eloquent and touching as Cascart ... Bardon offers a vividly over-the-top performance as Anaide ... Benini conducts with an easy feel for the score's shifting moods and the BBC Symphony Orchestra play with real charm and affection. Fascinating, and recommended".
