Background: 'Beecham's magical power of vitalising phrases is perfectly demonstrated here. There are a number of short 'motives' in the opera, which spring to life in an amazing way. How lovely, too, are the phrases for woodwind in Antonia's exquisite song, how ravishing the playing of the Barcarolle.' Alec Robertson, reviewing the soundtrack of the film, Gramophone 1951.
