"Who can turn skies back?, demands Peter Grimes. Well, the inventive film director, for one, who cleverly grafts extra moody Suffolk cloudscapes into this already unique performance, staged live ... on Aldeburgh beach in 2013 ... Undoubtedly the open-air acoustic and omnipresent head-mics create a mildly unnatural effect ... but this is still a marvellously involving performance".

"In almost all respects the technical side of the operation is a near triumph. Having the singers perform live ... to the accompaniment of a pre-recorded orchestra was a gamble but it has paid off with very decent sound ... This DVD makes a unique and satisfying experience".

"This is an excellent memento of a remarkable experience, but is also a production and a performance of the opera which will be widely appreciated by all and can compete with those mounted in the greatest opera houses, but with even more spectacular natural effects".
