"Dieser "Prophète" ist wirklich mitreissende Grand Opéra mit hervorragenden Sängern unserer Zeit. Da von diesem Werk ohnehin so gut wie keine Aufnahmen den Markt zu überschwemmen drohen, verbietet sich ein Stehenlassen im CD-Handel von alleine".

"Meyerbeer is an uneven composer ... but the best of Le Prophète is imaginative and powerful, and its subject - the quasi-religious (but effectively political) early 16th century rising of the Anabaptist ... is a fascinating one. Two roles dominate the piece ... both are delivered with conviction by John Osborn and Marianne Cornetti respectively ... The conductor Giuliano Carella draws spirited musicmaking from his Essen forces".

"If you love Rossini's Comte Ory, enjoy the stronger parts of Rienzi and are open-minded about the apparent dramaturgical gaps in Il Trovatore, you should feel at home with Le Prophète ... It's no small credit to Essen's Aalto Musiktheater to mount such en evidently well-studied performance of this large-scale show. The men do better than the women. While Osborn is fully in command ... Cornetti lacks some of the almost insolent viruosity ... Maestro Carella brings a nice flexibility to the score, making a unity of the piece ... Warmly recommended".
