Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

"'...with a cast as excellent as this one, it's difficult to spend much time contemplating alternatives.'"

Gramophone

"John Tomlinson, a favourite in the title-role at Bayreuth, now a veteran, is masterful as the Dutchman, exploiting his wide tonal and expressive range, with few signs of wear on the voice."

The Penguin Guide

"The performance is excellent - one of the best I've encountered in the whole Chandos Opera in English series."

American Record Guide

"Whether this would be your 10th 'Dutchman' or your first, Chandos's set deserves the strongest consideration."

Fanfare

"'John Tomlinson... is masterful as the Dutchman, exploiting his wide tonal and expressive range. Opposite him as the self-sacrificing heroine, Senta, is Nina Stemme, who two years ago had such a resounding success as Isolde at Glyndebourne. Here she is fresh and true, outshining almost any rival on disc...'"

The Guardian

"'His [Tomlinson's] first aria superbly expounds the Dutchman's haunted and accursed character... She [Stemme] sings with radiant intensity and glorious lyrical tone, and her English diction is immaculate. She sings the Ballad magnificently and in the scene in which she pledges to redeem the Dutchman she and Tomlinson make magic.'"
