"...the smooth voice and the vertiginous vocalizations of mezzo-soprano Antoinette Dennefeld who is the great triumph of this recording, so perfect is her embodiment of vocal subtlety and intelligence of the text." Première Loge Opéra

"..Special praise goes to the excellent mezzo-soprano Antoinette Dennefeld, who, in the trouser role of Eros (Love), displays a sumptuous timbre and an equally delightful sense of declamation." Camille De Joyeuse for ClassiqueNews

​

"Antoinette Dennefeld brilliantly tackles the spectacular vocalizations that Thomas entrusted to her, notably in the aria "Ô nymphes" from Act II. There is a heroism there that Dennefeld serves magnificently." Christian Wasselin for Opéra Magazine

​

"Antoinette Dennefeld is simply perfect in the role. Her mezzo-soprano voice is clear and luminous, yet compact and consistent across the board. Her excellent bel canto training—Dennefeld is primarily a Rossini singer—allows her to master the bravura passages with ease. She has the right temperament, along with a touch of histrionics that doesn't hurt the character." Giordano Cavagnino for GBOpera
