Reviews

‘Stephan Loges brings to his contributions the youthful warmth of his attractively vibrant baritone and his wonderful feeling for line and word … Lieder singing of the highest calibre … delightful … it is good to have all these songs, long hidden in libraries, available on CD’ (Gramophone)

‘I don't know how Hyperion keeps coming up with such fine young talent, but here we go again with another beautifully sung and superbly recorded effort from our English friends … excellent but seldom heard music, wonderful singing, fine engineering, and Hyperion's well-above-average documentation all add up to a thoroughly enjoyable experience’ (American Record Guide)

‘Anyone who cares about lieder singing and repertoire must have this disc … artful, sensitive, attentive, technically assured performances―absolutely first rate’ (Classics Today)
