"The new recording runs at white heat whenever Colin Lee's Orestes is on stage. This is a fierce and brilliantly realised portrait of the erotically obsessed and emotionally unstable fall guy...Pilade is sung with comparable mastery of the role by Bülent Bezdüz, a model of comprimario playing...a notable achievement, purposeful and bold, and the documentation is first-rate." - Gramophone Magazine, December 2010
