Густав Рудольф Зеллнер Critical acclaim for "the great musical quality of this performance" (Suddeutsche Zeitung): "In this elite cast, Gwyneth Jones sang an impassioned Leonore, while James King"s Florestan reached a peak of vocal expres siveness" (Berliner Morgenpost). "Conducted with gusto by Karl Bohm and sung beautifully by Jones, King and Greindl" (Variety). "The kaleidoscope of emotions is driven with controlled force by Bohm... powerfully intensifying up to the final explosions of joy".
