Reviews
'Prohaska is in beautiful voice, her tone even and silvery, her coloratura accurate and expressive. … Extraordinarily moving, it really does offer consolation in dark times. Do listen to it.'
Gramophone
'Each chapter is illustrated with a tantalizing mix of songs … The recording rewards repeated listening, with new, subtle thematic connections to discover and a deepening appreciation of Prohaska’s intelligence and artistry.'
