"De Billy’s version is both poetic and dramatic...A first class cast - Deborah Polaski is an excellent artist who brings to life a rich Isolde, full of hate and love, despair and abandonment." (El Mundo)

"A miraculous orchestra: a torrent of romantic passion and fever...A loving tribute to the opera which revolutionised music history." (El Pais)
