“At the podium stands José Miguel Pérez-Sierra, a genuine zarzuela expert who favors brisk tempos and sharp edges. The Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien translates his interpretation with more than just clarity. The Spanish fire here becomes a robust, hearty fireworks display”. Kronen Zeitung
“With Maestro Pérez-Sierra, the musical director of Madrid's Teatro de la Zarzuela, one could not have found a better person for this performance. And truly admirable was the excellent ORF orchestra, which masterfully brought this difficult score to life. Spanish music is full of countless rubati, accents, and much more, which present a tremendous challenge for the choir, orchestra, and, ultimately of course, for the conductor as well. It simply could not have sounded any better”. Klassik Begeistert
