Accentus Music’s Werther-DVD featuring Juan Diego Flórez in the leading role at the Zurich Opera House has been awarded with the “Choc” award by the French music magazine “Classica” in its June issue. The reviewer, Pierre Flinois, writes (excerpt):
An overwhelming interpretation by Juan Diego Flórez under the impetuous musical direction of Cornelius Meister: Massenet wins everything for his voyage. [..] The staging transcends the protagonists, in stark contrast to the beautiful box of light wood created by Klaus Grünberg, whose doors and hatches open to reveal a starry sky. Magic.
