Finnish soprano Soile Isokowski, 56 when this was filmed, pours out effusive, creamy tones and grand phrases, while Laura Claycomb, familiar to Pittsburgh operagoers as Bellini's Juliet and Donizetti's Lucia, sails through the Zerbinetta's fiendish coloratura with comic flair and an eclat that matches the explosive fireworks which bring this performance to a close. The rest of the cast is mostly unknown here, but uniformly excellent in context of this controversial, over-the-top rethinking of a major operatic masterpiece. --Robert Croan, Post-Gazette senior editor**Critic's Choice** Thomas Allen, at sixty-eight, still beautifully sang every note of the Music Master's role in a way few have every done. Kate Lindsey's Composer is vocally a delight; fresh, tender and unblemished of tone, she consistently finds a personal identification with the role. --Opera News, November 2014
