- Penguin Guide Rosette star 'At long last this outstanding(originally Phillips)1970 recording of Tippett's masterpiece reappears on CD. It is a work that should be in the standard repertoire, alongside Britten's Peter Grimes, for the music consitently has that inspired melodic flow which distinguishes all great operas. The singing is glorious, the playing magnificent and the recording outstandingly atmospheric, and the Lyrita transfer brings an extraordinary sense of realism.'
