Fanfare: Best of Year
Reviews:
“Claims that a recording is unique are often hype. But the opportunity this disc offers to hear Schoenberg’s experiment in ‘Sprechstimme' in two languages justifies the adjective. And the results justify the enterprise.” - Classic CD
“For the English version, for the distinguished performances, and for the incredible Herzgewächse, this disc is highly recommended.” - Fanfare
“With this distinguished cast of performers, one expects music-making of the highest caliber, and this disc does not disappoint. The performances are outstanding. Warmly recommended.” - The NATS Journal
