"As an admirer of Klaus Tennstedt I'm pleased to add this performance to my collection though it would certainly yield to Klemperer and Gardiner as a library choice for this wonderful work."

"This performance is something of a mixed bag, I think. The execution by singers and orchestra is very good indeed but, as readers will have gathered, I don't find all of Tennstedt's speeds convincing. That said, there is too much that is good in the performance to pass it by and I'm glad to have heard it. The recorded sound is perfectly acceptable though I had the impression that the balance favoured the choir somewhat - and I'd like to have heard more of the horns. As usual with this series no texts or translations are provided, a failing which still compromises this BBC Legends series, I'm afraid.
