“Karel Deseure’s conducting is undoubtedly one of the reasons for the performance’s musical success. The young conductor avoids one of the pitfalls of the score: the somewhat static succession of pieces in this style, still close to lighthearted musical banter. On the contrary, relying on the freshness of the female voices and the authority of the male voices, he did justice to the already pre-Romantic effects that the composer slips in between recitatives.”
