‘Stephan Loges satisfies most consistently with his understanding, beauty of tone and care for legato. Asti is the admirable pianist throughout and in two of the items is responsible for the completion of songs left unfinished’ (Gramophone)

‘Loges—and Asti's committed piano-playing … provide consistent pleasure’ (The Sunday Times)

‘What a concentration of talent in one place! … the enterprise is crowned by a barnstorming account from Katherine Broderick of Hexenlied’ (International Record Review)

‘Eugene Asti plays with a refreshingly light touch and a lively sense of rhythm’ (Gramophone)

‘Hyperion’s series of Mendelssohn’s neglected vocal pieces continues to spread enchantment, thanks in part to young British talent. Katherine Broderick and Hannah Morrison, wonderfully clear and expressive sopranos, top the line-up gathered by Eugene Asti … genius is frequent and Mendelssohn’s charm almost constant’ (The Independent)

‘Will give real pleasure’ (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)

‘Played compellingly’ (The Daily Telegraph)

«Un disque vraiment superbe et qui ne fait pas doublon» (Répertoire, France)

‘In my house the Coull players are guests welcome to stay as long as they like’ (American Record Guide)

‘Another outstanding performance from the Coull’ (Classic CD)

‘All in all, this disc, along with its companions … becomes the clear first choice for this music’ (Fanfare, USA)

‘It would be a hard hearted person indeed who could fail to find pleasure and even enlightenment in this enjoyable release’ (Classic CD)
