"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".
