"Andrew Davis has firm control of the score, its textures iridescent, the momentum sustained with a grace and urgency exactly suited to the psychological turmoil afflicting the protagonists. Don’t miss the new cast at any cost." (Opera)
"The John Schlesinger production of Der Rosenkavalier may have been around for more than a decade, but it continues to ravish the eye." (The Times)
"All the principals were established as specialists in their roles by the time of this live recording from 1995, and you can hear why: there's an impressive confidence of delivery in the more conversational scenes" (Classic fM)
"All three characters are splendidly drawn here, Octavian (a winning Ann Murray, not too feminine), Baron Ochs (Kurt Moll) with a rich low register to all but dignify his underlying boorishness, and Anna Tomowa-Sintow a commandingly sympathetic, mature and worldly-wise Marschallin...in the great trio of the third act the three voices meld ravishingly.
" (Gramophone)
"Tomova-Sintow is more moving than for Karajan — heart-stoppingly beautiful in the treacherous “Silver Rose” phrase at the end of Act I...With Ann Murray’s ardent, much-loved Octavian (new to CD), Barbara Bonney’s rapturously phrased Sophie and mercurial conducting from Davis, this Rosenkavalier was well worth rescuing from the archives" (The Sunday Times)
