"...this recording is an excellent and highly individual approach to Wolf by an interpreter who really understands Wolf's special sensibility and breathes life into the music."
(MusicWeb Sept 2006)
"If Hugo Wolf is still something of a distant figure for you, then this latest select anthology of his songs should certainly bring them into close focus… Ian Bostridge and Antonio Pappano bring out the best in each other - and in Wolf himself...Bostridge's ability to inhabit and dramatise the poetry of Wolf's settings is extraordinary. This compelling programme has you on the edge of your seat, not least to catch every inflection of Pappano's superlative musicianship: he has grand designs for these intimate songs, investing them with a supple, simmering passion, and mining their rich seam of expression with magical results."
