“another of the classics of the gramophone: beautifully played by the VPO, conducted with poise and vitality and a real sense of the drama unfolding through the music. It's very much a Viennese performance …warm, sensuous and alive to the interplay of character. At the centre is Hilde Gueden, whose Susanna has echoes of Viennese operetta singing although she remains a true Mozartian stylist… Lisa della Casa's Countess voice is full yet focused, and "Dove sono" is a delight . …But the true star is Erich Kleiber. The beginning sets your spine a-tingling with theatrical expectation….—no lover of the opera should be without it.” - Gramophone
