ORCHESTRAL & "Record of the Year"
"Abbado's view of this work has...achieved an intensity rare even in such a concentrated work. The Berlin Philharmonic play like gods: rarely have they mustered the intense sadness, the almost crazed power or the sheer translucence they offer here."

INSTRUMENTAL
"The works here require supreme virtuosity – technical perfection, but one that can still capture the sense of impressionistic exoticism. Anderszewski almost makes it sound easy. He's a dazzling pianist, and one whose love and commitment to this music shine through with every fabulously played phrase."

HISTORIC ARCHIVE
Every cast member is magnificent, irresistibly caught up in the drama's forward surge. That sense of momentum is largely due to Keilberth, here as nowhere else proving himself a Wagnerian of the first rank. So now we have three great Siegfrieds from the pre-Solti era – Wilhelm Furtwängler at La Scala, Clemens Krauss and this Keilberth. In better sound than Furtwängler and with the godlike Hotter at its heart, arguably conducted with more warmth than Krauss, this set is indeed something special. Unmissable, in fact.
