Mireille Delunsch / Umsagnir

Dans l’expression des autres personnages, le choix des autres solistes se révèle d’une rare qualité. [...] Quelles couleurs chez le baryton Peter Bording s’il est Le Garde, Le Bouffon, Le messager, Le Père ou le Gentilhomme.

The house orchestra, conducted by Eötvös, plays like a dream - precise, alert, dedicated - and the vocal trio - Ilse Eerens, Salomé Kammer and Peter Bording - is simply superb. These are the high standards we have come to expect in Lyon. And though it kills me to say something positive about amplification, even the passages where the trio uses hand mikes to whisper are eerily beautiful.
