Awards and reviews
May 1985
a performance dominated by conductor and orchestra. You will never hear so much detail of the orchestral score in the opera-house...with Böhm at his most incandescent, the Immolation must rank as one of the noblest accounts of this music ever recorded...The Decca set crowns the transformation wrought on the company's historic cycle; those who have the other operas need not hesitate to acquire this one.
