About

none has surpassed Güra in his understanding of the idiom, and none has had a partner so aware of every nuance in the piano parts as Schultsz….I cannot recommend this disc too strongly.” - Alan Blyth, Gramophone, October 2005

A most beguiling disc; essential both for connoisseurs and for anyone keen to explore a composer regarded by many as the greatest lieder writer since Schubert.” - Geoff Brown, The Times, 21 October 2005

exquisite performances” -Andrew Stewart, Classic FM Magazine, December 2005, *****

"Güra's singing of the lines in 'Im Frühling' is spellbinding. This is only one example of the loveliness of tone, tender phrasing and astute interpretation of the text that characterise Güra's singing throughout this recital...It seems to me to be Lieder-singing of the highest quality, and Schultsz plays an indispensable role in achieving this." - Michael Kennedy, The Sunday Telegraph, 23 October 2005 (The Sunday Telegraph Best Classical Releases of 2005)

It is heartening to hear Werner Güra tackling this demanding repertoire with a command comparable to that of Peter Schreier…Güra offers fine musicianship, blessedly secure technique and altogether exceptional colouristic ability...One of the most outstanding vocal discs of 2005.” - Roger Pines, IRR, December 2005

The notes, the whole presentation, and the translations are exemplary.” - Michael Tanner, BBC Music Magazine, December 2005

Other particular delights include a fresh, springy performance of the popular Fussreise, free from any lederhosen heartiness, a wonderfully tender, delicate Auf ein altes Bild, and a truly virtuoso performance, from both singer and pianist, of the spooky ballad Der Feuerreiter.” - Richard Wigmore, The Daily Telegraph, 25 February 2006
