Editor's Choice (Gramophone Magazine) July 2002
"The German baritone Thomas Quasthoff is at the peak of his considerable powers - recent concerts of Mahler songs on both sides of the Atlantic have left audiences emotionally drained by their intensity and vocal beauty. In his first mixed operatic recital he sings arias by Wagner, Weber, Richard Strauss and Lortzing - a composer seldom encountered today, though well worth hunting down on record. One of the disc's successes is Quasthoff's wonderfully rich range of characterisation."
- Editor's Choice (Gramophone Magazine) July 2002
"Once more, Thomas Quasthoff puts us in his debt with a recital wholly out of the ordinary, executed confidently in singing of such strength and beauty as to almost silence criticism."
