"This is certainly the most desirable version using modern instruments to appear since Solti’s second recording in 1990. (...) [Christoph Strehl's] is a wonderfully virile, vital reading that gives pleasure to the ear, as much in ensemble as in aria (...) [Dorothea Röschmann's] full-throated, positive singing, finely shaped, cleanly articulated, is a true match for Strehl's. Hanno Müller-Brachmann is a properly lively and amusing Papageno, and delivers the role in a richer bass-baritone than many interpreters provide (...) The Hungarian coloratura Erika Miklósa has been making a speciality of Queen of Night over the past few years and shows just why in a technically secure and fiery account of her two arias. René Pape sings Sarastro: now at the peak of his career, he conveys all the role's gravity and dignity in a gloriously sung performance. (...) As a whole I felt the performance conveyed a welcome immediacy and spontaneity. (...) I very much warmed to the daring of Abbado’s way with the score."

Alan Blyth, Gramophone Magazine / June 2006

Grisey's music: a mysterious lever -without secrets- inviting one on luminous voyages of listening towards a metamorphosis. Voluptuous irritation of the experience of sound and time -in perpetual transformation, decomposing and crystalizing: Phoenix and ashes at the same time.
