2010 edition

Central to the Chandos set's success is the formidable assumption of the title role by Jane Eaglen...The voice is rich and warm, better focused that it often has been, with fearless attack above the stave, and fine poise in reflective moments...[Plowright makes] a suitably vehement and fruity Amneris
