Opera Magazine, October 2011:
"Iain Farrington conducted his own inspired reduction of the score to only nine instruments. But you would hardly have known that this was not Janacek's own. It danced and glided as if straight from Moravia: folk elements of the original seemed to emerge more clearly than ever. The chamber-music feel suited the intimacy of the production and no doubt the budget too.”
