Shakespeare songs

"CDs des Monats: Das Recital beschenkt - oder beschwert? - den Hörer mit der Lust daran, die tiefe Melancholie zu versinken".

"A late bloom for Shakespeare's anniversary year, this generous recital features 29 settings of the bard by from contemporary composers ... and on to 20th-century Europeans, Korngold and Stravinsky ... Ian Bostridge's distinctive artistry, plangent of tone and supremely verbal, suits some of the settings better than others".
