Jane Eaglen's 'voice is already a formidable dramatic soprano's but one well trained to cope with the gymnastics required... she... is undaunted by the expectations implicit in a highly demanding score... the extracts here leave no doubt about the feature of Mayr's scoring most commonly remarked upon in the history book - his skills in orchestration... he was the teacher of Donizetti, whose own writing for orchestra deserves more credit than it usually gets.' |
