Reviews:

[Gruberova's performance is] "full of subtle nuance and breadth of phrase as well as vocal and dramatic power." 
"The balance between voices and orchestra is well judged, and the recording is produced with as much care for the drama as for the music. " 
(J.B. Steane in Gramophone) 

"...liefert hier eine ihrer besten Schallplattenanleistungen überhaupt, da ihr eine weite Ausdruckspalette zur Verfügung steht: das Furioso der sich betrogen wähnenden leibhaberin, die autoritäre Starrheit der machtbewussten Herrscherin und die Verletzlichkeit der gefühlsbetonten Frau." 
(E. Pluta about Gruberova's interpretation in Opernwelt)
