Notes & Reviews:

"The recording is superbly spacious and clear throughout, with a fine sense of atmosphere... Godfrey's conducting is as affectionate as ever, more lyrical here, without loosing the rhythmic buoyancy; one can hear him revelling in the many touches of colour in the orchestration which the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra present with great sophistication..." -The Penguin Guide to Opera on CD
