This recording (...) feels tight and exciting (...). Helena Juntunen is outstanding in the title role both vocally and emotionally and Jorma Hynninen makes much of her compromised father (...) Anna Liisa is something special and deserves wide circulation outside its native land. Mike Ashman, Gramophone, September 2015, 'Editor's Choice'
