"For this recording all the numbers - including the extra material - are played, and with some style under Viennese light-music specialist Christian Pollack...As well as the operetta itself, various dance selections drawn from it are included." BBC Music
"The performance is an excellent one, Pollack conducting in spirited fashion, with soprano Veronika Groiss and tenors Manfred Equiluz and Franz Födinger outstanding among the soloists...That such a rarity can be rescued from oblivion to such high standard at Naxos prices is quite astonishing." Gramophone
"Naxos fields a strong and sensible cast for its recording. No disparagement is intended in calling them provincial. Quite simply, the most satisfying operetta productions are possible only when an ensemble of singers can work together over an extended period of time; and in Europe this is possible only in a regional rather than a metropolitan house...The Slovak Sinfonietta, Žilina is on its best behaviour for Pollack on the podium, but this music must be bred in its bones." International Record Review
