"Where this version is admirable is in its orchestra and chorus. Richly singing tone from the strings in the Prelude and many other places is seconded by wind and brass whose quality can be heard more easily than in the earlier Bayreuth sets, and the chorus is quite the equal of its predecessors." (Gramophone)

"...the energy of Leif Roar's Telramund, the conducting, and the singing of Karan Armstrong's Elsa, Peter Hofmann in the title-role and Elizabeth Connell's Ortrud are informed by character identification of Anja Silja-like intensity." Gramophone Magazine, July 2010
