“Adolphe Adam's attractive opéra-comique tells the story of a coachman who becomes an opera star. Here it's tenor Robert Swensen who dashes off the top Ds in an appealing account whose only demerit is that it's sung in German.”
Opera Today

“Robert Swensen has it all — good high notes, vocal heft, a sense of style...In this kind of music radio orchestras, due to their versatility and their outings in the lighter repertoire are often to be preferred over their all too serious and better known symphonic competitors.”
