Reviews:


“Here is a singer blessed with a luxurious voice accompanied by a pianist who is in perfect accord in readings that are deeply felt and lustrously rendered. If you want to hear Mahler sung by a mezzo with piano accompaniment, this is an excellent way to hear it.” - American Record Guide


“This is a distinguished collection by any standards, beautifully recorded and presented with full texts.” - International Record Review


“It’s certainly worth exploring this carefully considered, beautifully rendered non-orchestral performance of these extraordinary songs.” - Opera News

“When singing the words Ich bin ausgegangen: in stiller Nacht it sounds as if she means every word. A fine example of how excellent the singing can be is in Blicke mir nicht in die Lieder! which really suits her deliberate style and clear production. I loved her tender expression in the short song Liebst du um Schönheit and the abundance of heartbreaking yearning in Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen which is so expressively sung. Dark and melancholic Nun will die Sonn' so hell aufgeh'n from the Kindertotenlieder is full of world weary expression.” - MusicWeb International
