Awards and reviews

an irreplaceable treasure...Jerry Hadley is an ideal Candide (what a good career as a Broadway lead he might have had in another era), June Anderson is a grand opera Cunegonde with high wattage power...The playing of the London Symphony is first-rate, far better than what you’d get from a Broadway pit orchestra.

Jerry Hadley is, throughout, an affecting and eloquent Candide...the coloratura of June Anderson, Bernstein's Cunegonde, is incomparable...Ludwig's diction is legendary and her English is pretty good, albeit with a faint and obviously deliberate touch of exoticism about it.
