Notes and Editorial Reviews
[T]he production is superbly executed, and that all four vocalists are outstanding: Jill Gomez projects real "presence" as the only singer without multiple roles, and Roger Bryson delivers his lines with a sort of sputtering rage that had me both terrified and guffawing in places. And Niall Morris and Valdine Anderson almost steal the show with their merry-go-round of roles, delivered in a breathless rush of virtuosity.
-- Robert Carl, FANFARE [7/1999]
This recording was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for "Best Opera Recording."
