"Exceptional ... very well recorded ... The excellent orchestral playing is wonderfully alive and pointed, and the small Swiss choir (22 strong) articulate precisely and cleanly, as indeed they
do throughout ... heavenly duetting of Invernizzi and Dawson ... brilliantly incisive trumpets and bold, crisp timpani leading onto some thrillingly vibrant choral work ... Fasolis, a conductor
... whose inspired direction galvanises his forces to electrifying effect. This is a highly distinguished set that can take place among the very best versions" Goldberg

Mozart: "The chamber-like dimensions of Maag's orchestra allow for unusually clear and forwardly balanced winds and brass along with the textural
lightness, punchy accents, and assertive timpani whacks characteristic of many period-instrument Mozart performances on disc ... Given the vivid impact of
Arts Music's engineering and the label's modest asking price, Maag's Mozart virtually recommends itself. Welcome it into your library without delay" 10/10

"Lucia Popp was forty-three when she gave this recital ... It shows her in marvelous voice in her early maturity ... Technically what is so impressive is, inter alia, control
of dynamics when going up; she maintains scrupulous dynamic gradients and seldom forces the voice. And there is quite enough power at the climaxes as well"

"Superbly remastered 1974 tapes featuring a clutch of fine soloists, plus the Cologne Radio Choir and Symphony Orchestra under the admirable Ferdinand
Leitner ... These are tremendous performances indeed - I have never heard better" International Record Review
"Enthusiastic and well-rehearsed ... Ferdinand Leitner paces the pieces as well as anyone ever has ... Carefully remastered and sounding better than ever"
classicstoday.com
"Ferdinand Leitner and his Cologne forces do these works proud with interpretations full of subtle colours contrasted with fiery brilliance. This is a truly
historic issue with exemplary sound and fine annotations that should not be missed" classical.net
"A recording of Orff which has been authorized by himself and is very well worth listening to" Die Presse
"Tremendously involved and involving. The restoration sounds first class" musicweb-international.com
"Orff specialist Kurt Eichhorn ... First rate soloists ... A reference recording of a fascinating work" klassik.com
"The soloists were an established Orff team ... Hermann Prey sings with the full brilliance of his voice ... Lucia Popp ... shapes her part with strong expression" Das
Orchester
"This performance is wonderful, two superb protagonists, excellent cast" classicstoday.com
"Hermann Prey is an emotionally most committed and exciting Orpheus and Lucia Popp is an unforgettable Eurydike" Pizzicato
"A curio that will be of most interest to devotees of the development of Orff’s vocal and theatrical powers" musicweb-international.com
"Hermann Prey is eloquent and moving and sings beautifully. Popp's broef contributions are just as telling - I wish there were more of her....The orchestral and choral
forces under Kurt Eichhorn are peruasive" American Record Guide
"The singing and playing are of the highest standards and from the consistently relaxed atmosphere that permeates this performance, there is no doubt that the
composers's satisfaction was complete. Superb remastering completes an issue that is a must..." Classical Net
"The apportioning of the roles is well nigh perfect but even amongst the stellar quartet it’s perhaps nowadays the least well remembered, Rose Wagemann, who makes
the most moving impression – and not simply because she bears the emotive burden of the Lament of Ariadne on her own. Centered and dramatic hers is a voice that
commands immediate admiration. Her voice suits ... with remarkable precision and she makes a cumulatively moving impression – allied to which the voice is beautiful
... We also hear the clear, immaculate Lucia Popp as Amor and the spinto mezzo of Hanna Schwarz. The restoration sounds excellent; it has used that much touted 24
bit – 96 kHz system" musicweb-international.com
"The interpretation is irreproachable" Crescendo Belgium
"...the performances are superb. Rose Wagemann is particularly outstanding" International Record Review
"Rose Wagemann's Arianna is particularly impressive; her outpouring of grief is nothing less than a tear jerker. Orff's close associate, Kurt Eichborn, conducts gracefully
and sympathetically, giving full rein to singers and orchestra to highlight all the beauties ot these unique creations" Classical Net
"luckily interpreted by highly reputed artists...Josef Greindl is impressing" Crescendo
"In the title role, Roland Hermann is supremely impressive, embrancing all of the multi-faceted role...This is an impressively authoritative recording of one of Orff's
finest scores" musicweb-international.com
"Roland Hermann has an amazing vocal and declamatory colour palette. Colette Lorand...equals him in intensity and artistic singing. The smaller roles ....... with
Josef Greindl, Kieth Engen and Fritz Uhl are not only luxurious but also brilliantly cast" FonoForum
"Impressive..... The cast is excellent" classicsToday.com
"This recording.... is an outstanding achievement in all respects... Roland Hermann as Prometheus and Colette Lorand as Io are particularly impressive in
interpretations full of power and tragic insight" Classical Net
"one of the most facinating music-theatre productions of the 20th century" Die Presse
"...the spectacular Carmina Burana, the enthralling Catulli Carmina, the exciting Trionfo, the dramatic Prometheus and also the Monteverdi
works are all worth listening to, most of all the Ariadne-Klage with the affecting Rose Wagemann. Hermann Prey and Lucia Popp are not less
convincing in Orpheus. All together a very recommendable box!" Pizzicato

This is pure romatic and can beautifully be heard on this CD. Alessandro Carbonare and the Sinfonie-Orchester Bozen put their hole heart and soul in this
production” Empfohlen von Brigitte
"Alessandro Carbonare has a fine technique, a sweetly liquid tone, and an impressive dynamic range. He encompasses the virtuosity of the outer
movements of both concertos effortlessly, but what really makes these performances memorable is his quiet playing ... Carbonare also is a good conductor,
as the orchestra responds to his direction with real fire in the trumpet- and drum-led passages ... The excellent recorded sound helps, ideally balancing the
soloist against the orchestra so that every note is crystal clear yet also in natural perspective ... This disc will give a great deal of pleasure, and if it's been a
while since you've heard this music, t+H296ake a refreshing break and give it a whirl" classicstoday.com
