"The performance is fresh and has a lively spontaneity. It is particularly good in the famous dances of Act 2, which have the orchestra on their toes.... excellent value."
(Gramophone)
"Previn's 1972 LSO version emerges very favourably against the new competition. The recording is extremely vivid and the CD transfer a distinct success; woodwind and brass have plenty of colour and sonority and the balance is excellent. The performance is fresh and has a lively spontaneity. It is particularly good in the famous dances of Act 2, which have the orchestra on their toes.... excellent value."
