"… This recording of a live 1997 Munich performance shimmers with the musical and erotic excitement the work demands but seldom receives…Daniels’ voice can float sweetly in its middle and expand thrillingly at its very top – sometimes doing both on the same breath…" Opera News
" … Bolton's pacing is ideal and his band cannot be praised highly enough. Fabulous!" www.classictoday.com
