Reviews

  • Opera Lounge

    “Special emphasis was placed on the correct French playing style and, moreover, meticulously adhered to Auber's original metronome specifications... The orchestral performance is beautifully detailed, never thick or viscous, but on the other hand not running the risk of sounding too like chamber music. Salvi's conducting does justice to the works... Full marks in all respects.”

    — Daniel Hauser (Original in German)
