"Abgesehen von eher geringen Idiomatik-Abzügen bei der Wertung der Strauss-Lieder, erweist sich das Programm als mutig, zur Stimme des Stars passend und hochprofessionell ausgeführt. Auch dass Heggie ("Dead Man Walking") sich um die europäischen Dogmen der Neuen Musik nicht schert, ist eher zu begrüssen ... Joyce DiDonato stellt mit dem Album ihre superiore Stellung als eine der wohl fünf besten Sängerinnen der Gegenwart souverän unter Beweis. Dies ist kein Ausrutscher".

"Den amerikanske mezzosopran Joyce DiDonato er altid god for et overraskende og gennemtænkt koncertprogram, og koncerten i kammermusiksalen Wigmore Hall i London den 21. december 2017 var ingen undtagelse. Programmet var bygget op omkring sangcyklussen: Into the fire ... Den ligeledes amerikanske Brentano Quartet ... spiller fremragende ... Alt i alt en koncert, jeg gerne ville have overværet lige, men som faktisk også var en meget stor fornøjelse på cd".

"The most substantial item in this live recording from Wigmore Hall is "Camille Claudel: Into the fire", Jake Heggie's song-cycle ... composed in 2012 for Joyce DiDonato ... The result is a well-crafted score ... The playing is excellent, while DiDonato supplies her usual command and commitment ... The rest of the programme dates from the last decades of the 19th century ... DiDonato's approach is musicianly and light of touch, entering into each item with measured tone and a focus on the text".

"DiDonato and her collaborators here ... carry the colour of voice and string quartet through the recital ... And the highest compliment I can pay all three of the arrangers is that it sounds as if those songs were conceived and swathed this way all along ... This [album] is a wonderful calling card for DiDonato. Small wonder she has become something of a muse for Heggie".
