Chorus and Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Bernard Haitink.
“surely the most beautifully sung and played Grimes on disc, though the excellent ensemble, thoughtfully led by Rolfe Johnson, doesn't always evoke souls in torment. Words come across very clearly in the superb recording.”
