"Herreweghe paces it perceptively, without any of the misjudgements of tempo that cause a few reservations about Gardiner's vividly dramatic performance. And if it cannot quite match the impact that Colin Davis's 1960 recording made at the time, it makes a strong claim to figure among the most recommendable present-day interpretations...the sound is extraordinarily clean and fresh, and the balance deserves much praise for the technicians as well as the artists."
