BBC Music Magazine, November 2015 ¡°Vocally, Damrau can run rings around the notes, but in this role that's not enough. Francesco Demuro makes a likeable if uninteresting Alfredo¡¦best of the principals is Ludovic Tezier's Giorgio Germont, a distinguished piece of singing and thoughtfully acted.¡±
Gramophone Magazine, November 2015 ¡°Damrau acts out her impression of a stage Violetta rather than ever becoming Violetta¡¦the music-making around her has class. Francesco Demuro's Alfredo shows attractive colours and a fluent and well-used top, and he can rage (Act 2) and suffer without affectation. Ludovic Tezier has class, plays a good age and captures the contrasting emotions of his three scenes most clearly.¡±
