The ultimate destination, of course, is death, so jolly listening doesn’t always follow. Yet we’re easily pulled into most of the songs by the vibrato-light clarity of Piau’s voice, and the delicate piano playing of David Kadouch, who beckons us so beautifully into the opening seconds of Liszt’s Schiller setting, “Der Fischerknabe”, another song about a watery grave
This is a glorious collaboration, and a wonderful record. If it doesn’t pick up some awards, it will probably only be because Sandrine Piau’s releases, particularly of baroque repertoire, tend to win so many of them anyway. ... Piau has engaged completely with texts which are the peaks of French and German literature. 
Piau’s way of singing off the line while deploying subtle gradations of colour and dynamics to illuminate the text finds its counterpart in Kadouch’s poetic yet detailed playing, and they often achieve a remarkable unity of aim and expression, admirably restrained throughout, yet on occasion also startling. ... It all adds up to a beautiful, often profoundly affecting recital, to which you will want to return again and again.
