"Word-lively, supple and instinctive of inflection, Gerhaher is the perfect voice for a song such as Haydn's Flow gently, sweet Afton ... and his command of both English and Lallans Scots is formidable ... [The recording] is enhanced by the violin and cello playing of Anton Barachovsky and Sebastian Klinger, and the always sentient piano accompaniments of the faithful Gerold Huber".

"In der Haydn-Gruppe wirkt der rechtens viel bewunderte Christian Gerhaher in Diktion und Ausdruck mitunter leicht gespreizt. Die intendierte Hommage an Fritz Wunderlich wird dann aber bei Britten spürbar, und bei Beethoven überrascht Gerhahers rustikaler Humor".

"Best of all are the bittersweet, sometimes disturbing Britten arrangements that form the recital's centrepiece. In beauty of tone and sensitivety to text and mood, Gerhaher's vividly "lived" performances are a match for any of his baritone predecessors".
