(DLF Kultur) "With largely sensational musical performances" (Kurier). Juan Diego Floréz "fulfils all expectations of a Rossini singer in a class of his own" (BR Klassik), "witty and vocally profound is Ildar Abdrazakov as Basilio" (Der Standard) while Vasilisa Berzhanskaya "is convincing in her house debut as Rosina."
