"Major praise must go to Angela Gheorghiu. Not only does she draw a portrait of the irresistible, impetuous, selfish, luscious Manon from the very beginning, but she's totally in control of her vocal resources as well. The voice rings out from top to bottom, with lovely, cooing pianissimos to boot, and the innate darkness of her sound turns out to be ideal for the role. Brava! Roberto Alagna's Des Grieux is similarly passionate and his voice sounds in good shape, well-produced and even throughout the range." ClassicsToday
