Wagner: Götterdämmerung – Soloists, Hallé, Sir Mark Elder
‘The orchestra, reinforced for the occasion to more than 100 and with enough harps on- and off-stage to re-stock Paradise, responded with world-class playing from every section. Elder’s Hallé is now transcendent.’

The Daily Telegraph on the Hallé’s performance of Götterdämmerung, May 2009


          Artistic Quality 10     Sound Quality 10

"...Elder’s Götterdämmerung adds up to a most fulfilling and modestly priced dramatic and musical experience that no serious Wagnerian should miss."
 

Jed Distler
 

ClassicsToday.com - 21 October 2010

"...This is a magnificent achievement, the jewel in the crown of the Hallé’s own record label."

Colin Clarke

Fanfare - January/February 2011
