Ce monument musical est servi par ce que la Finlande musicale compte de meilleur, du grand baryton Matti Salminen, grandiose en Raspoutine, au jeune chef Mikko Franck, à la tête des troupes de l'opéra finnois.
Maxime Kaprielian et Pierre-Jean Tribot, Guide 2011 des DVD de musique classique
Salminen's rich voice and corpulent presence are haunting, while Rautavaara's score (conducted by Mikko Franck) conjures up the decadence of the 1916 Russian state in long dark waves of sound and abrasive dissonance.
Rick Jones, The Times, October 6, 2007
Rautavaara is one of Finland's many fine composers; perhaps the finest. (...) The opera is (...) a masterful work to be sure. (...) What a grand company the Finnish National Opera is! Where do they get all of those fine baritones and basses? (...) This is a grand show.
