| "No opera gains more than Mozart's sublime Singspiel from performance in the language of the audience, especially in an English translation as deft and witty as Jeremy Sams's. With a nearly all-British cast, the potentially tedious dialogue for once emerges naturally and delightfully from the musical numbers," wrote Richard Wigmore for telegraph.co.uk in a brief review of this recording. |
