"As for the singers here, soprano Annemarie Kremer is fine in the role of Heliane ... Ian Storey has a creamy tenor sound and is mostly effective in the role of The Stranger. Still, he does seem to struggle a bit in the early stages. The rest of the cast is convincing ... Perhaps the strongest part of the performance though is the conducting of Fabrice Bollon. His phrasing and tempo choices throughout the opera impart a vitality and warmth perfectly appropriate to Korngold's score. The Freiburg Philharmonic Orchestra play with spirit and accuracy and the various choruses sing beautifully ... Let me sum up by saying that if Korngold is an interest of yours and the libretto issue isn't a significant liability, then obtaining this Naxos set will certainly yield many rewards".

"Das Wunder der Heliane er en yppigt svulmende, sen og overmoden frugt af den senromantik, der i kølvandet på Wagners Tristan og Parsifal blomstrede i Wien omkring århundredskiftet ... Heliane er imidlertid hans hovedværk og får en meget flot opførelse og optagelse under John Mauceris mildt sagt begejstrede ledelse ... Spændende og usædvanlig lytning".

"Das Wunder der Heliane Bliver hermed pladeindspillet for første gang - den har levet i glemsel siden premieren - men med dirigenten John Mauceri kan den næsten heller ikke tænkes flottere. Den store romantiske klang varieres efter dramaet, Korngolds melodiske evner trækkes frem samtidig med at musikkens modernistiske ideer ikke glemmes ... Sopranen Anna Tomowa-Sintow presses ud i det uskønne som Heliana, medens den øvrige sangerbesætning er glimrende".

"Long, loud and densely scored, this opera cannot be easy for its singers. Heliane, the queen ... receives a touching, vulnerable and beautifully sung portrayal from Annemarie Kremer ... Ian Storey is strong and warm as the Stranger ... Fabrice Bollon and his outsize team draw out the opera's strengths, even if occasionally they fall prey to its weaknesses. Despite various ragged edges in diction and in the orchestral ensemble, and audio quality that could be more sharply defined, this recording from two live concert performances has flair and lots of heart".

"Korngold anså sin fjerde opera og dermed sit sidste større sceneværk som sit mesterværk. Helianes Mirakel fra 1927 er et allegorisk drama om kærlighedens sejr over ondskaben ... Umiddelbart er Bollons greb om det enormt store og opulente orkesteropbud overbevisende, varmt og med passioneret glød. Også det vokale akkompagnement og til de næsten sakrale korpartier indfrier Freiburg Philharmonikerne og deres dirigent ... Solisterne er næsten af ensartet høj standard, et gennemgående stærkt hold, alle med store stemmer".

"First impressions are good, with Fabrice Bollon conducting the heavenly-chorus prelude in a warm, sculpted sweep of music, the Freiburg forces clearly unfazed by the multi-layered intricacy of Korngold's orchestral writing ... Kremer, as Heliane, is at her most affecting in the quieter moments ... The choral singing is fervent, and blends richly with the orchestral playing - which, under Bollon's shapely, impassioned direction is the real glory of this performance".
