Reviews Penguin Guide 2010 “Richard Hickox more than any rival brings out the fun of Britten’s comic chamber opera, lifting rhythms in an infectious way. The result is warm and welcoming…James Gilchrist is outstanding, with a tenor light enough to sound wimpish in the first half of the opera, and then to convey the anger of the character in the monologue that marks his change of heart Opera Magazine “Expert playing from members of the City of London Sinfonia, and Hickoxs pacy account combines precision with spirit in a score he clearly loves. Gramophone ‘Hickox’s enthusiastic advocacy is a splendid addition to his expanding survey on disc of Britten’s stage works. He enters into the spirit of the piece as successfully as Britten himself” The Guardian ‘But, although any Britten opera at budget price is worth investigating, it is the Chandos recording that gives the work more dramatic strength and psychological depth, it seems more palatable.’ |
