Jeremy Silver has a marvellous way of getting beneath the skin of the music, shaping the
various numbers so that their impact has space to sink in before moving on the next turn of
the melodramatic screw. In general, musical values were very high – the ETO Orchestra
had an instinctive feel for the gutsy, bright, volatile sound, played with Italianate vigour.
With the chorus singing with the same sort of attack, the beleaguered people’s fervent love
of country came across with thrilling directness.

…the result is musically something close to a triumph, thanks in no small measure to Jeremy Silver’s expert direction from the harpsichord…
