“Fischer’s conducting is quite magnificent: full of attention to detail and ideally paced too…the result is a major operatic release that is not only distinguished but also truly inspiring.” International Record Review

“The Swiss composer shaped his only full opera with complete assurance…Thierry Fischer controls all the elements with a sure hand in this recording with a strong cast” BBC Music Magazine

“Thierry Fischer secures a committed response from the Netherlands Radio forces, burnished strings and incisive woodwind heard to advantage in the fabled Concertgebouw acoustic…A near-definitive account of an opera whose take on The Tempest has yet to be equalled for sensitivity and insight.” Gramophone Magazine
