David Claris on the Opera-L mailing list, 1997-07-24: "It is superb. Not a weak link in the cast; Wunderlich is magnificent. A wonderfully sustained performance. Who cares that it's in German, it has plenty of Slavic flavor, even a few Russian words are substitued in the the big choruses. Clear, potent mono sound." [on Gala GL 100.520]
