"Roman Trekel is a fine operatic baritone, a regular performer at the Bayreuth Festival, with a big, resonant voice. He is in many respects an excellent singer, but Winterreise presents a range of challenges not all of which entirely suit his voice and his apporach ... This is a powerful, dramatic Winterreise, an interpretation some will like but which conveys little of the inward reflectiveness of, for example, Matthias Goerne's recent disc".
