'Antonino Siragusa's rather dry voice, flexible with its high placement, 'speaks' quickly enough for him to tackle rapid divisions with apparent ease... Siragusa contrasts well with Bruce Ford's darker sound, and Ford himself is no slouch when it comes to moving the voice through passages demanding vocal dexterity... The women are on the same high level with Majella Cullagh in shining voice... Jennifer Larmore is majestic, in commanding mood... She is on splendid form, the vast range of the role creating no obvious problems.'
