«Certains comparent parfois l'interprétation de la musique classique à un sport extrême, étant donné la perfection attendue des musiciens voulant survivre dans ce monde. Je me permettrai, pour ma part, de comparer l'album Mendelssohn-Grieg-Hough: Cello Sonatas du violoncelliste Steven Isserlis et du pianiste Stephen Hough à une passionnante course automobile mettant en vedette des voitures improbables» (Ici Musique, Canada)» More

‘They are sung by three excellent singers. Soprano Ruby Hughes and tenor Ben Johnson, both young and fresh-voiced—Johnson won the Audience Prize at the Cardiff Singer of the World in 2013 and is certainly one to watch … baritone Günter Haumer, Viennese born, is a deeply experienced singer and his expressive delivery of mainly the more dramatic songs sometimes makes them seem better than they are … technically it is up to the high expectations we have of each new issue from that company and the documentation is a model of its kind’ (Music, USA)» More
