"Anyone hoping that close-up filming might reveal subtleties in the acting not evident in the theatre will be disappointed. Close-ups add to the embarrassment ... John Osborn, a fine Arnold in concert, seems out of sorts here in his big Act 4 scene, while Tell, Gerald Finley, and the Mathilde, Malin Byström, are even more obviously out of their depth ind the theatre than on record. Pappano conducts with greater grip and insight".
