CRITIC REVIEW: "This [performance] is actually spontaneous, communicative, well played and decently recorded - an interesting, vital, thrilling account....The star of the show is Elisabeth Grümmer...a glowing, radiant presentation whose only fault is that it's sometimes a little too much so....Moreover, the recording, though mono, is way above the usual Myto standard: clear, undistorted, fairly detailed, well balanced, and in all respects quite satisfactory if not outstanding."
