"A telling example of how, given certain circumstances, works bow to the expressive supremacy of music. Nowadays the "quaint" English singing style may seem a little dated but the overall effect is overwhelming-the studio recording providing the more intimate experience; the live one a higher ratio of passion. The rapturously beautiful Song of the High Hills is another Beecham "must"." Gramophone
"It is also good to hear such vintage singers of the period as Dennis Dowling and Frederick Sharp as the respective fathers of the hero and heroine, with an excellent line-up of soloists in the many incidental roles. The extra items are very welcome too." Penguin Guide
