"Sampson adores these songs, caressing the text with her beautiful, pure soprano, particularly those that dwell on the correlation between nature and the emotions. Her partnership with Middleton is inspired, his intelligence always evident".

"Klassik Heute Empfehlung: Carolyn Sampson und ihr Begleiter Joseph Middleton zeigen auch in diesem Programm wieder viel Feingespür für die verschiedenen Stimmungen der Lieder. Die Sopranistin ... hat den bestrickenden Zauber ihrer Stimme, die mitunter Nachtigallenqualität gewinnt, nicht verloren ... Der Pianist ... bietet eine bravouröse Leistung, die aber immer im Dienst der Musik und der Partnerin steht".

"We are offered a very comprehensive odyssey through the Verlainean waters. Ms Sampson is a richly endowed guide with a beautiful lyric voice well suited to French melodies: it is flexible, she has a sure feeling for the poetry and she is careful with nuance ... Joseph Middleton's accompaniments are sensitive ... A garland of roses to everyone concerned".

"Sampson führt ihre mädchenhafte Stimme höchst konzentriert, sie phrasiert sehr musikalisch und emotional durchlässig. Das Klavierspiel Joseph Middletons ... hat einen weichen Grundton und alle Tugenden, um auch das Dezente mit innerer Spannung aufzuladen".

"The discovery of the disc are the songs by Poldowski - a pseudonym for Régine Wieniawski ... Her songs prove nothing short of fabulous: warm, energetic and melodic, with a deep-set richness of harmonic language. Sampson's pure, shining tone matches the finesse of this repertoire and her lower range sometimes has the softness and subtle qualities of a deep flute ... Middleton provides a bright cushion of support throughout".

"[Sampson is] in excellent voice, her tone clear and silvery, her upper registers exquisite: Chausson's Apasiement sends shivers down your spine with its floated high pianissimos and suggestive portamentos ... Middleton's playing is marvellously fresh throughout, the thin dividing line between wit and melancholy superbly negotiated ... Ariettes oubliées ... gets one its finest performances on disc, the slide from eroticism to bitterness immaculately judged. Very fine".
