"On the plus side we have Christian Thielemann's immaculately bittersweet conducting and Renée Fleming's Marschallin, sung and acted with superb conviction. Less successful are Diana Damrau's overly knowing Sophie and Sophie Koch's occasionally unsteady Octavian. Wernicke's staging, updating the opera to the years before the first world war, has a brittle, cool quality".
