"A glance through the list above confirms that this is an unashamedly popular concert. Well, so what, when the performances are as good as these!

The proceedings open exuberantly with part of Leonard Bernstein's Candide Overture as we accompany Bryn through a quick tour of Amsterdam before the concert opens with the Wagner items; items that Terfel admits place the greater demand on his voice.

The romance and delicacy of the Song to the Evening Star (Tannhäuser) contrasts with the bold dramatic gestures of Wotan's Farewell. The DG engineers do a splendid job in capturing De Waart's thrilling reading of The Ride of the Valkyries. I managed to hear it only in stereo, I am sure it must be stunning in Surround Sound.

Terfel's Mozart arias are nicely expressive and he indulges in some amusing miming to the piccolo lines in Papageno's aria. He realises a well-rounded Falstaff and it is clear from his comments in one of the promotional videos that accompanies the concert that he has an impressive understanding of Verdi's opera and the character."
