Reviews: 

"Edita Gruberova fasziniert durch stupende Virtuosität und leuchtkräftige Spitzentöne: sie entwickelt auch in extremer Lage ihre raffinierte piano-Kultur." 
(Fono Forum) 

"Diese Aufnahme ist ein Muß für jeden Gruberova-Fan...auch die anderen Partien sind dramatisch packend und höchst individuell besetzt."  
(L. Thaler in Musikmarkt) 

"... a superlative artist, one of the most accomplished singers of the age, heard in a repertoire to which she is one of the few sopranos who can do justice and to which she would have been lost on records had not this company, so closely associated with her name, been at hand to present her." 
(J.B. Steane in Gramophone)
