"Gundula Janowitz sings the role of Ariadne with incomparable line and style. Her knowledge of Strauss singing has never been bettered."
(review)
"Gundula Janowitz sings the role of Ariadne with incomparable line and style. Her knowledge of Strauss singing has never been bettered. Strauss could have written the part for Janowitz voice. The Bacchus of James King is another of his splendid achievements. Move over Gary Lakes, Ben Heppner, etc!! A true ringing heldentenor with a stunning top making him the great Bacchus, Emperor in "Frau" and also great Wagner singer. (review)
