Giuseppe Verdi's late opera Don Carlo delivers all the big topics while Ferdinand Wögerbauer's ultra-simple décor provides a spartan counterpoint to the dramatic action.

"The tenor of the decade is without question Jonas Kaufman, and though he has critics who seem more intent on concentrating on what he cannot do as opposed to mentioning how many tenors there are who don't even come near to matching his skillset, this playing of the role of the tormented Infante should silence most. Kaufmann is wondrously adept at the part, bringing lyrical propensities and highly-developed acting to the performance that serves as the golden thread on which this production hangs. Need I say that the Vienna Philharmonic plays splendidly? An outstanding release!" (AudAud.com)
