The scale of ambition is immense and it's salutary that this company has taken up the challenge... What is on offer here are simple, traditional productions, minus any controversial direction... sung by largely Italian casts... Picture quality is sharp and the sound pleasantly realistic. --Mark Pullinger, International Record Review
