Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine Oct 2005 "This is Lieder-singing of a very special order with a native German speaker's totally idiomatic way with the poetry. Sheer delight"

Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine Oct 2005

"Werner Güra's pliant, sensitive tenor was one of the great joys of René Jacobs's Gramophone Award-winning set of Haydn's The Seasons. And heard here in the gentle company of pianist Jan Schultsz, its flexibility and depth of feeling is ideally suited to the very individual musical language of Hugo Wolf. This is Lieder-singing of a very special order with a native German speaker's totally idiomatic way with the poetry. Sheer delight"
(Gramophone)

Hugo Wolf absolutely venerated the poems of Eduard Mörike, so much so that he 'could not bear to be away from them even for an hour'. Almost all the Mörike-Lieder burst forth miraculously between February and May 1888, and it is in composing them that Wolf found his own voice. They are indispensable for understanding the subtle, accomplished art of this last great master of the lied with piano.
