 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
"This could prove a popular record, and I hope it does for it is a good ambassador and will make friends for opera. . . . [T]he selection is likely to give wide and keen pleasure. . . . The chorus and orchestra are in fine form. Precision and responsiveness distinguish their work throughout . . . . Haitink conducts lively sensitive performances . . . . The lovely Pastoral from Andrea Chenier sighs with delicious grace, and in the climax of the Easter Hymn the tempo broadens generously to let the invincible melody have its sway." -- Gramophone
