Opera'Majella Cullagh brings to Zaira a lovely, clear soprano that recalls the young Freni.' The Observer'The versatile British baritone Alastair Miles is outstanding.'
The Guardian'...based on Walter Scott's Heart of Midlothian... It's certainly worth this kind of showcase, especially with a singer of Nuccia Focile's allure in the main role....'
International Record Review 'The contribution by the Academy of St Martin in the Fields is most worthy, as is that of the Geoffrey Mitchell Choir, Opera Rara's usual and most welcome chorus. To all, Giuliano Carella brings a sure touch.'
