    The Gramophone Christopher Stone - 2003 "Krombholc was an outstanding Janáček conductor - his stereo Supraphon recording of Káťa Kabanová had no rivals until Decca launched its award-winning series of the five great operas under Charles Mackerras - and he rarely relaxes the tension during Jenufa's three pithy acts."
