‘these are all very beautiful performances, which at times achieve a rapt inner quality… the big Sonnambula aria is exquisitely done… Freni manages what I call a ‘smiling tone–colour’ for O mio babbino caro and Suzels’ delightful aria from Amico Fritz is sung with charming effect and everywhere she takes special care over dynamic control.

(Exsultate, jubilate) “Miss Stader gives an even more assured performance now and manages to keep the feeling of exaltation up to the end ..an excellent performance.” (Mass) “both the cathedral choir and the symphony orchestra produce glorious sonorities surpassed only by the fine team of soloists. Of these, Maria Stader is outstanding for her supremely well sustained lines, whether purely melodic or brilliantly decorative. She utters truly musical phrases, long in span and carefully moulded in every respect. Stader’s amazingly fine transition from the low to the high ‘Christe’ is in a class by itself, for which there would seem to be no regular and acceptable term….The C minor Mass is certainly difficult to cast well, and this is as near to perfection as we shall get…..” (Gramophone)

“Renata Tebaldi brings off a tour de force in her assumption of all three soprano roles…. She gives us some beautiful singing in the passage about the charms of Paris (and) excellent in Suor Angelica, singing with touching simplicity in the scene with the terrible Aunt (superb from Simionato)…. Which reminds me to add a word of praise for the lesser nuns and novices that make all the earlier part of Suor Angelica so uncommonly enjoyable… In Gianni Schicchi small parts are again first rate” (Gramophone)

“Tirimo has a quite exceptional temperamental affinity with Debussy, with a fine ear for resonance and sonority, and exquisite subtlety of touch. He lavishes loving care on the most unassuming miniature… and he can bring the most familiar bonbon to life without resort to trickery—hear the languid elegance and velvety cantabile of Clair de lune, for example. No less impressive is his marvelously subtle account of the concluding ‘Toccata’ from Pour le piano…This is not calculated to make you gasp in amazement; but what it does provoke, with remarkable consistency, is smiles of recognition at the revelation of unsuspected beauty” © Gramophone
