Sony, 1997

A wonderful Romilda!
I just had to write a review and tell the world how much I like this recording. Malgoire does conduct the numbers a bit more slowly than I am used to, but he keeps things bouncing and never lets it sound slack. Barbara Hendricks is wonderful here as Romilda: she has ...

Angel Records, 1991

The most well-balanced recording of Elektra
I'm going to be smitten for this, but I really think that Sawallisch's Elektra is the best studio recording in the discography. I say this not to downplay the significance of other great Elektras such as Solti's legendary recording with Birgit Nilsson, but I really do ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1992

A Glorious, Radiant, and Moving Recording
I go to this album nearly daily for a bit of Zen. The choral work is lovely, the soloists add their own unique color, and the calm beauty of the interpretation is an oasis from a busy day or from loss--which is the subject of these French Baroque pieces. You won't ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1992

Uitstekend!
I do not easily write reviews, but.... this CD is a must for everybody who likes classical vocal music. It's my very special CD, the one I like most in my collection of vocal music. It's so superb, I cannot imagine the human voice can be more pure!!

EMI Classics, 2008

If they gave a prize for snoozing through 'Elektra'
No bargain here. This misbegotten Elektra from 1990 -- flat, ordinary, and prosaic -- aroused bizarre enthusiasm at Amazon when first released. I have no hope of pushing back the tide, but it's worth warning off curious buyers who might slip into this bog. Eva Marton ...
