After the success of The Fairies, Oehms Classics is proud to present The Ban on Love. The mini-series is being completed with Rienzi as part of the Frankfurt Opera edition.
"[Weigle] has an excellent cast: singers such as Anna Gabler, Christiane Libor and Michael Nagy all ensure that the score's strongest, least hell-for-leather episodes are heard to full effect...Perhaps, after all, Wagner was right not to destroy it." (Gramophone)
"Michael Nagy sounds pretty good and ranges freely over the very wide vocal ambit that Wagner has written for him...Christiane Libor is fully Nagy's match as Isabella, but Charles Reid as her brother Claudio sounds slightly over-parted...this set will do very well indeed for those who want a recording of absolutely every opera that Wagner wrote. It may be enjoyable for others too" (MusicWeb)
