"This fine recording draws together six closely-linked figures from fin-de-siècle Vienna ... Hannigan's luminous voice perfectly suits the music. She conveys the uneasy, almost unhinged feel of the fin de siècle not only in her lyric singing, but also in her crooning, swooping, sliding, whispering and weeping. Reinbert de Leeuw matches her with his delicate touch, and his sense of layering in the carefully terraced accompaniments ... For me, the seven Zemlinsky songs were a revelation ... Frühlingstag is exquisitely, unforgettably beautiful".
