Kühn Mixed Choir, Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, Charles Mackerras

Renée Fleming gives a tender and heart-warming account ... the joy of this set is that it fulfils every expectaton and more, offering a recording with glowing sound that reveals the richness and subtelty of Dvorak's score.
The Gramophone Good CD Guide

“Renée Fleming and Ben Heppner are dream recording voices who have also benefited from the experience of playing the same roles opposite each other on stage in the US. The other singers are well cast, too, and Sir Charles Mackerras and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra have the music in their blood.” Gramophone Magazine

‘It is hard to imagine anyone doing the title role better” (The Australian)

“Hickox conducts with real theatrical warmth…” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 ****

“As music director of Opera Australia… Richard Hickox… has made a bold choice in Dvorák's last and greatest opera, Rusalka, when there is a near-definitive version available on Decca with a mainly Czech cast and the Czech Philharmonic conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras. Cheryl Baker may not have so creamily beautiful a voice as Renée Fleming but she sounds more aptly girlish and fresh. Tenor Rosario La Spina as the Prince is younger-sounding, more virile and more expressive than the Heldentenor Ben Heppner on decca. As for Hickox, he conducts this magical score with a bite that brings out the elements so closely related to the Salvonic Dances. A final choice must remain marginal, but anyone who wants a new-minted version of one of the most magical of all operas... more atmospherically recorded than on Decca - this new Chandos version makes an excellent choice.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2008
