"The orchestra are, perhaps, the finest thing about this performance, surprisingly so. Mena's enthusiasm for the work must have rubbed off on them ... The singers are all very good, too. That chorus were worth the air fare, because they enliven everything they do ... The soloists are very good, too".

"This is a valuable recording ... A characteristic of Mena's musical approach is a strongly lyrical, poetic style. He has a gift for bringing out the gentler aspects of any piece he conducts. That is very much the case here, in a profoundly beautiful, even devout, performance of this classic of Spanish music ... Throughout one is conscious of the love thrown over the whole work, as well as the meticulous preparation of all involved".

"While there's plenty of Iberian flavour to this recording, including a flamenco cantor of properly reedy vocal depth, Mena never lets us forget that the work is in that Italian [verismo] tradition ... [Fabiola Herrera's] voice is up to every expressive nuance of the role ... Faithless Paco is sung with the verve of a true rake by Aquiles Machado, and the smaller parts are all well cast".

"Mena prises open textures and sonorities with great subtlety and attention to detail, so that we're fully able to appreciate the shifting colours of Falla's writing ... The playing immaculately blends clarity with sensuousness, while the Coro de la Radio e Television Espanola sing with admirable warmth of tone ... Yet at times it all feels fractionally too considered ... Nancy Fabiola Herrera sounds sumptuous as Salud with her warm tone and full upper registers".
