"So klug da kombiniert ist, so schön und sinnig wird es gesungen. Immer tief die Texte auslotend, ohne allzu ostentatives Raffinement, sich auf das schöne Farbenspektrum der Stimme verlassend. Es ist ein entspanntes Musizieren, dem man sich gern hingibt, auch weil Charles Spencer so nobel und doch präzise begleitet".

"Vurdering: Gramophone choice" - "Evidence of her artistry is everywhere apparent. Her phrasing is seamless, with none of the audible words-versus-music negotiations noticeable even in fine singers. Her vocal quality is not merely pure but powerful, though in her case that powers stays mostly in reserve until summoned by the music ... Schwanewilms coaxes the listener into her realm with the subtlety of a whisper".

"The voice is recorded very forward, occasionally giving a hard edge in the soprano's voice .. Still, this is a highly pleasurable programme that can be warmly welcomed by those who crave beautifully vocalized, unusually thoughtful Lieder performances".
