'Kober’s conducting...is outstanding and the chorus are superb... The colour that Nylund is able to apply...pays dividends with Elisabeth… Kerl achieves a good balance between the more lyrical side of his character and the Romantic heldentenor... Musically it’s a glorious affair...that finds the true delicacy and poignancy within whatis surely the most Romantic of Wagner’s works on the misunderstood, suffering, exiled artist.’ OperaJournal
