Awards and reviews
2010 edition
Terfel gives a vital, three-dimensional reading as one might expect...the final fugue at a very fast tempo is thrillingly precise, thansk to a team of leading singers who respond brilliantly to Abbado's strong, thoughtful direction...the sensitive detail in [Hampson's] characterization is magnetic. For most collectors this will now be the primary recommendation.
