''devotees of Peter Moores's Opera in English project will not want to miss this, surely one of the best in the series to date'.
BBC Music Magazine

Chandos' award-winning release of Tosca with Jane Eaglen in the title role has been enthusiastically received:

'Jane Eaglen's Tosca is a high-voltage performance. Her ability to judge all the subtle nuances of sound and phrasing in this role is acutely displayed in Act II.'
BBC Music Magazine

'Jane Eaglen is the main vocal attraction. Singing with vibrant tone, she rises to the many challenges of the score. Her range is wide and there is no sign of insecurity in the all-consuming climax of Act II.'
Opera Now

'Plowright's brilliant attack is unerringly caught, happily so, as her superb performance is the best reason for buying this set'.
Gramophone

'…the first recording to demonstrate the powers of Jane Eaglen at full stretch in one of the most formidable, vocally satisfying portrayals of the role of Tosca in years.'
