Naxos - Comments from Klaus Heymann
September 3, 2012
Has to be the Decca, with Antonacci, Kaufmann and D'Arcangelo, and Pappano conducts ROH forces to bristling effect. Fairly trad production, but that's no bad thing.

And here is Stephen Hough's Blog. If you scroll down, you will find my entry and his nice reply in which he says: 'The BFO and Ivan have been a complete dream to work with this weekend. From the first E flat in the first rehearsal last week I was inspired by their intensity and utter commitment.' ... more
