Women's lives and loves

'Felicity Lott and Angelika Kirchschlager give delightfully characterised performances, whle Johnson's playing is typically sensitive and pointed … an ingeniously planned and beautifully executed duet recital' (The Daily Telegraph)

'The performances give unalloyed pleasure. Lott's still-radiant soprano combines beautifully with the vibrant, musky mezzo of Kirchschlanger, while Johnson's sentient playing is a delight' (Gramophone)

'I'll leave you to experience the conjuring for yourself. For conjuring it is: any element of the didactic is totally absent in this seamless garment of word and music. Fragments of the Schumann we know and love surface and return like a mantra bedding itself deeper and deeper into the subconscious, as a point of reference for the outstanding performances of all three musicians. And, at the end, Johnson's postlude to the Schumann elides into the entwined voices of Brahms's Klänge-only to return as a curtain slowly falling at the end of a recital as near perfection as I know' (BBC Music Magazine)
