"In conclusion, regardless of the sometimes spotty camera work and the subpar production, which is passable, this is still a must-buy. And the simple reason is due to the three world-class performers who are at the top of their game in one of Donizetti's unfairly neglected works. One hopes more productions will be created for this stellar cast".

"Recording of the week" - "[A] gloriously sung new version from the Bavarian State Opera, released last week on Deutsche Grammophon, with Elīna Garanča in the title-role and Matthew Polenzani and Mariusz Kwiecień as the men between whom she's torn. Amélie Niermeyer's unfussy and beautifully lit production places the action in a loosely contemporary setting, without any intrusive konzept but with sufficient depth and emotional nuance to make the revival of this neglected score feel like a living, breathing drama rather than a worthy bit of operatic exhumation".

"Vincent Boussards iscenesættelse vil næppe skræmme nogen: På én gang dybt traditionel ... men samtidig med pænt mange irritationsmomenter og pegefingeragtigt unødvendige detaljer ... Kvindesiden er langt fra stærk nok ... Så er der langt mere bid og kraft i Ludovic Téziers potente bud på kong Alphonse ... Optagelsens ubestridte stjerne er den kinesiske tenor Yijie Shi ... også scenisk ... Hør og se optagelsen først og fremmest for Yijie Shis fabelagtige Fernand".

"Opera choice: Dressed in black and grey in the current historical-contemporary style with boots and great coats for the men and Barbie pink and orange satin for the women in the chorus, La Favorite looks sqeezed on the Bergamo stage ... Yet the principals never lose their vocal footing. Javier Camarena is exemplary as Fernand, every inch the bel canto tenor in his celebrated final act aria 'Ange si pur'. Florian Sempey's Alphonse is a gravel-voiced villain ... Annalisa Stroppa's Léonor is gold: her Act 3 recitative and aria brings the house down".
