"Recording of the month: This charming collection of mélodies is extraordinary in the fact that their accompaniments are fully orchestrated ... The qualities of the singers come over well ... The orchestra under Markus Poschner plays with energy and style".

"One immediately feels a strong sense of engagement by these accomplished artists in Saint-Saëns's art and the chosen texts ... Tenor Yann Beuron ... has the measure of these songs. His attractive voice is notable for its impressive enunciation and rich lower register ... Greek baritone Tassis Christoyannis ... is in engaging form here, matching every mood with aplomb ... Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana delivers high-quality playing, consistently alert and fluent ... Saint-Saëns admirers should be in their element with this release".

"Der griechische Bariton Tassis Christoyannis ... Eine Stimme von maskuliner Noblesse, welche eine Melodie regelrecht nachzusinnen scheint. Sein gesang bietet grosse dynamische Bandbreite, wobei nicht zuletzt die subtilen Höhenpiani faszinieren; hinzu kommt eine exzellente Diktion ... Das Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana unter Markus Poschner illuminiert die Musik klangsinnlich".

"The singing of both artists is of the highest class with not an ugly or unexamined note anywhere. Every word is audible and the characters of the songs are, for the most part, delineated with care".

"Bueron, who has a remarkable ability to sustain soft high notes without sliding into falsetto, is impeccably stylish throughout ... Christoyannis sings ... with a velvet sensuality ... Conducting and playing are faultless. It's a very fine disc indeed".
