April 2007

This recording…is ablaze. …Bruce Ford…can do both amorous and heroic, and blends well with Laura Claycomb's spirited Teresa. The outstanding characterisation is Monica Groop's Ascanio, a splendidly idiomatic use of words supporting her fine dramatic flair. Norrington... achieves pinpoint accuracy and makes the whole piece dance as well as sing.
5 out of 5 stars

March 2014

Norrington presides over a lean and pacy account of the Cinderella among Berlioz's operas...Bruce Ford and Laura Claycomb dazzle with vocal fireworks as the eponymous hero and his beloved, whilst the Finnish mezzo Monica Groop is deliciously feisty in the trouser-role of the apprentice Ascanio.
Katherine Cooper

Norrington is a superb Berlioz conductor, who relishes every spark of invention in the score, every innovatory texture....this performance really came alive!
