"Vurdering: BBC music opera choice" - "This is one of the most exciting of Opera Rara's Donizetti recordings ... The several magnificent choruses are sung with gusto by the Opera Rara Chorus, and supported by a possessed Hallé Orchestra, Sir Mark Elder eliciting fervent and accurate performances from every last participant. The opera only has one female character, but Angela Meade makes sure that her singing makes up for that by hurling herself into this heroic role ... The excellent tenor Michael Spyres, just as exciting and committed. All the cast deserve mention".
