"[Barenboim] delivers the kind of eloquently moulded, dramatically succinct phrases heard in his Wagner performances of late...[His] status as a Verdian outsider - and the fresh insights that come with that - is a genuine drawing card."
"Some signs of vocal wear ([Domingo] was 69 at the time) could be seen as fitting the character; in fact they're surprisingly few and far between...The finest vocal contribution comes from soprano Anja Harteros: as Amelia she sings with radiant tone and an effortless command of the role's difficulties...Barenboim stresses the score's sombre tones and gives it momentum" - BBC Music Magazine, April 2012
