"The seven-disc set includes two oratorios, familiar in this country in their Victorian English translation, but sung here in German. Elias features a distinguished lineup, including Golda Schultz, Werner Gura and Wiebke Lehmkuhl."
"In Nelsons' hands, the First Symphony often the Cinderella of the set takes its place alongside its more colourful cousins. The MDR Radio Choir is a trifle polite in the Baal choruses, but the men in particular make a tremendous noise."
