"Decca's magnificent recording amply confirms the view that this is Korngold's masterpiece, musically even richer than his better-known opera Die tote Stadt. The opening prelude, with its exotic harmonies and heavenly choir, will seduce anyone with a sweet tooth. John Mauceri draws glorious sonds from the orchestra, and the cast is headed by three outstanding singers, the soprano Anna Tomowa-Sintow at her richest, an impressive American Heldentenor, John David de Haan, as the Stranger and Hartmut Welker as the Ruler."
