20th November 2002

So what's so special about the performance? Try Canadian tenor Ben Heppner, outdoing his fellow countryman Jon Vickers on Sir Colin's first recording of Les Troyens. The other principals are very fine too...The playing is formidable, revelatory, and the big set-pieces have an epic sweep to them.
Matt Fernand

CD Review

a triumph

2011 edition

Davis's second live recording...magnificently crowns his whole career as a Berlioz interpreter on record, generally outshining even his pioneer version of 30 years earlier...[Lang] is superb, firm, rich and intense, investing every phrase with emotional power, instantly establishing her dominance...Heppner excels himself

March 2014

Davis's second recording of Berlioz's Virgilian epic positively crackles with a theatricality that never sags or falters over the course of this five-hour live performance. Surely one of the finest opera recordings of all time, and most definitely a Desert-Island item for me!
Katherine Cooper

truly spectacular

10th May 2013

The splendiferous climax of Davis’s first Berlioz cycle

New York Times

Davis's recording of Berlioz's epic opera Les Troyens is going to shake up the classical-music industry as nothing else has in some time...the performance is superb.

Opera News

Davis's newest recording of Les Troyens has an excitement born of the glowing sheen of perfection...splendid by any standard
