"Where Heine can rail or sneer, Schumann, typically, dreams; and no Lieder-singer does reverie better than Matthias Goerne ... A word, too, for Andsnes's sensitive timing and shading of Schumann's dreamy and/or quizzical postludes ... Other baritone have brought more light and shade to [the Kerner-Lieder]. But if you respond to Goerne's peculiarly intense, concentrated art, the rewards here are deep and enduring".
