Gramophone

'We are lucky to have Bruce Ford... in florid passages he moves swiftly and gracefully, he appears to be comfortable with the tessitura... he sings with feeling and a sense of style. The women have suitably contrasting voices, Mary Plazas' fresh and high, Nelly Miricioiu's older in tone, more dramatic in timbre.

José Fardilha has a touch of the flicker-vibrato that can give distinctive character, and Alastair Miles confers nobility of utterance upon the vindictive Chancellor.'
