Reviews
'You can also simply marvel at the vocal breadth and the naturalness with which Prohaska plunges into the German, English and French world of songs ... Fortunately, in Julius Drake she has a pianist at her side who is no less musically well educated.'
Rondo
'It’s a maddening, fascinating and often bewitching disc.'
BBC Music Magazine
'Another stunner from soprano Anna Prohaska...It’s all beautifully planned and paced.'
