Reviews

‘As for the singing, I cannot praise it too highly. Florian Boesch has a warmly attractive baritone voice and his diction is first class, as is his response to the word meanings. Roger Vignoles's accompaniments, too, give great pleasure in themselves, especially in the pictorial devices which Loewe so relishes. The recording, as we expect from Hyperion, is first-class … if you are new to Loewe's music, I do urge you to try this richly rewarding CD. You won't be disappointed’ (Gramophone)

‘Boesch's performance demonstrates huge imaginative variety in characterisation … in such ways, Boesch emulates Loewe's own reputation, singing to his own accompaniment, as an 'actor-singer'. Vignoles matches him in playing of perception in what is pretty well an ideal introduction to a fascinating figure’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘There is no better introduction to this great song composer; there are scarcely any more perfect song recitals on disc’ (Classical Music)
Im Vorübergehen (1836) is an alternative ‘Heidenröslein’ with a ‘happy’ end, whose comfortable, Biedermeier sway betrays its origins as a vocal quartet. (The solo arrangement is by one Fritz Schneider.)

Im Vorübergehen (1836) est un «Heidenröslein» alternatif avec une fin «heureuse», dont l’influence Biedermeier sécurisante trahit son origine de quatuor vocal (l’arrangement pour voix solo est dû à un certain Fritz Schneider).

Im Vorübergehen (1836) ist eine Alternativversion des „Heidenrösleins“ mit einem „glücklichen“ Ende, dessen gemütliches, biedermeierartiges Hin- und Herwiegen die Ursprünge des Werks als Vokalquartett verrät. (Die Bearbeitung für Solostimme stammt von einem gewissen Fritz Schneider.)
