"Both singers have clean, clear, youthful voices of no great or special distinction but which fall pleasantly on the ear. Both have no trouble encompassing the mostly gloomy and passionate emotional scope of these songs ... Zuev is suitably dashing as Don Juan and Petrozhitskaya displays an impressive range and dramatic intensity ... This could have been a highly desirable recital but without texts it remains frustrating".

" Det er fornem sangkunst. Stotijns mørktfarvede og rigt nuancerede stemme giver sig hen i sangenes tjeneste, og sådan får man et nyt repertoire, som er værd at lære at kende".

"Christianne Stotijn is that artist in a thousand whose personality shines through everything she does ... Julius Drake's focused narratives make us want to hear even more from him".

"Hvorostovsky has added many of the more unconventional Tchaikovsky songs to his repertoire since that first recital disc ... Even if Hvorostovsky perhaps deserves a piano virtuoso with more colours in his palet that Ivari Ilja ... the Estonian manges the lighter rouches well".

"Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "Tchaikovsky's songs are not nearly well enough known, and this superb recital should encourage more interest in them ... Highly recommended!".

"Krasteva has a ripe, smoky mezzo, sounding not unlike Olga Borodina, and she doesn't pull her vocal punches ... This is a worthwhile Tchaikovsky programme showcasing a fine singer".

"Hearing Petrozhitskaya in 'So soon forgotten' highlights her operatic gifts and explains why she has been credited as such a poignant Tatyana ... There is real passion here, together with a relish of Russian vowels and consonants, but there is also ... a capacity for subtle inflection and a softly floated line ... Zuev's timbre attractively blends freshness with maturity, unforced intensity and a compelling emotional resonance".
