"Recommended: Magic there is over and over again throughout the programme, maybe nowhere as delicately as in "Ich wandelte unter den Bäumen" (tr. 3), where Andsnes paints the atmosphere deliciously in the prelude and Goerne wrings every drop of feeling out of the poem in an almost immobile reading. It leaves at least this listener breathless ... From now on Matthias Goerne (with the masterly Leif Ove Andsnes as his accompanist) will share the space on my priority shelf".

"Recording of the week: The past few years have brought several outstanding recordings of the latter cycle from lyric baritones, but Goerne's darker, rougher-hewn instrument sheds an entirely different light on these songs of love, loss and exile ... And though Goerne can be mightily impressive in declamatory mode, he still commands a matchless legato ... Andsnes is noisily exuberant in the 'Wanderer' songs, gleefully aware that he's never going to be in any danger of overwhelming this particular partner".

"Selv om Goernes stemme er Wagner-stor, får han al Schumanns romantiske sarthed og følsomhed med ... og med den norske superpianist Leif Ove Andsnes ved det absolut nutidige flygel er der ingen fortolkningsmæssige eksperimenter her. Bare ren lyttende omhu og en suveræn sikkerhed i forhold til musikkens udtryk ... Som ren liedsang betragtet er Matthias Goernes indsats fremragende".

"There's hardly an abrupt, harsh moment throughout. But Heinrich Heine's suffering-infused words need more risk, edge and ugliness ... In other words - not revelatory or devastating, but beautifully polished music-making".

"Matthias Goerne med sin dunkle luksusbaryton ... synger nu også sammen med den norske pianist Leif Ove Andsnes ... og det er tydeligt, at der her er tale om to musikere, der har det godt i hinandens selskab ... Goernes ... eminente overskud til at afsøge enhver kontrastmulighed og samtidig skabe uendeligt lange linjer i musikken gør denne nye cd til en sand fornøjelse fra start til slut. Teksten er så tydelig, at man uden problemer ville kunne bruge cd'en som tysk diktatmateriale i 2. g".

"Dunkel, schwer und ernst ist die Stimme von Matthias Goerne geworden. Zugleich aber hat er einen frei schwingende Oberklang kultiviert, der ihm feinste Nuancen ermöglicht ... Die Aussprache ist hervorragend, die Sinngebung entschlossen und klar ... Mit Leif Ove Andsnes gesellt sich ein weltweit anerkannter Starsolist mit grosser Neigung zu Kammermusik und Liedbegleitung an die Seite Goernes. Das passt gut, denn die Norweger ist ebenfalls ein Stimmungsmaler mit Sinn für den grossen Zusammanhang, Es gibt drängendere Begleiter, die die Brüche und Bedeutungsebenen stärker voneinander absetzen".

"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".
