"There's a ... immediacy to her singing throughout these settings of sensuous French poetry, her delivery poised in the sweet spot between urgency and a heavy-lidded, don't-rush-me languor ... She's at one with David Afkham's smoothly responsive orchestra, but manages to impart the feeling that she's singing everything in her own sweet time - this music's style to a T.".

"Happily the Bamberg musicians are too interested in the sheer, the precise and the subtle [in the Ravel] to stumble into cheap exoticism. The colours are sharp in Britten's Quatre chansons françaises, the final chords beautifully taut ... David Afkham keeps the textures transparent while Karg sustains a steady gleam. Koechlin's Épiphanie is deliciously intimate".

"Karg's voice is allowed to emerge in its splendour and fullness ... The Bamberg Symphony are on fine form for David Afkham, too ... Adams's slippery, troubling orchestrations, gliding away from genuine Debussy towards Wagner and even early Schoenberg, are illuminated with superb finesse".
