This recording was awarded the 1994 'Prix Massenet de l'Académie du Disque Lyrique'

('It is a performance that reflects considerable credit on all concerned...Chorus and orchestra are excellent, and Swierczewski, whose performances of Méhul I have previously praised, judges tempos well and, bearing in mind that the recording is taken from live performances, secures very laudable precision even in the largest-scale ensembles.'
