Reviews

This performance, featuring the finest Danish soloists, musicians, and conductor, is unbeatable. The staging has humor and eye-appeal. It's thoughtful, vivid, not overly literal, but never disrespectful of the work.
(Classics Today)

Michael Schønwandt is bursting with vitality and in total command of his forces
(International Record Review)

Musically this is one of the finest 20th century operas and this production is one of the most hilarious comedies I have seen.
(Musicweb International)

It's a great show
(Liverpool Daily Post, England)

Michael Schønwandt directs a splendid account of the score ... The DVD offers worthwhile extra features and Dacapo provides first-class booklet notes.

Ein echter Tipp!!!!
(EMPFOHLEN - Klassik.com)

Simpelthen en fest!
(Berlingske Tidende)

Forestillingen hører til blandt de bedst sungne og castede Maskarader i umindelige tider. Den er endvidere visuelt ekstremt spektakulær og suverænt dirigeret af Michael Schønwandt, der så tydeligt har fået Carl Nielsen ind med modermælken.
(Kristeligt Dagblad)

En överdådig fest för ögat.
(Helsingborgs Dagblad, stage review November 06)

Lysande infallsrik komedi.
(Svenska Dagbladet, stage review November 06)
