Reviews

'In these performances with the admirable Konzerthaus Orchestra, what emerges above all is the uniquely glowing sound of Weber’s orchestration, with its very special use of horns and winds.'

BBC Music Magazine

'Helmchen gives real substance to the Konzertstück ... Eschenbach and the orchestra deserve credit, too, for they match Helmchen’s deft touch and broad colour palette.'

'... it’s the overtures here, including the wonderful The Ruler of the Spirits, that spread most delight, with their sprightly delivery of Weber’s top virtues ...'

'Anna Prohaska creates entire worlds when she sings … This album made me cry, laugh, dream, yearn, and think hard about what life demands from us. It’s far and away the best vocal music I’ve heard in a long time.'
