"Vurdering: BBC music dvd choice" - "Jeremy Sams's 21st-century pasticcio is an all-you-can-eat operatic buffet. Its arias and ensembles are cherry-picked from works by Handel, Vivaldi, Rameau, Campra [etc.] ... and are set to new words in a romantic comedy fashioned from two Shakespeare plays, The Tempest and Midsummer Night's Dream ... Daniels's hauteur, Oropesa's sweetness and Pisaroni's loneliness lend this frothy fantasy some fibre, while DiDonato's transformation from dreadlocked hag to anguished parent to triumphant cougar packs a hefty emotional punch".

"When it was broadcast from the Met I listened. Did I enjoy it? Oh yes. Just look at the composers; just look at the cast ... If one accepts The Enchanted Island as a pastiche, one can quote eighteenth-century predecessors by such composers as Handel ... William Christie's conducting of the Metropolitan Opera forces finds the orchestra on fine form ... The casting is succesful from top to bottom, with Danielle de Niese's soprano rising above ... Again, I liked the work. Christie said, 'It's a pastiche, yes, but it's a deep pastiche'. Good sound and picture".
