"Opera buffs might complain at a lack of action, but lovers of Schumann will celebrate a work that is at once intimate, thought-provoking and gloriously melodious. A sure-fire first choice."
(Gramophone)
"Harnoncourt's recording is contemporaneous with his first performances of the work, given in Graz during the summer of 1996. Teldec's balancing is mostly judicious and the musical direction suggestive of burning conviction, especially in the Overture and those many passages where sparse texture and mild dissonances predominate. Opera buffs might complain at a lack of action, but lovers of Schumann will celebrate a work that is at once intimate, thought-provoking and gloriously melodious. A sure-fire first choice."
