'Everything about this disc is inviting … the kind of CD that makes you want to go back and listen again to almost every song … I cannot imagine them being better sung … It is typical of Hyperion to present both such material and such a promising singer' (Gramophone)
'a rare, effortless lyric voice, clear, and beautiful in tone' (Classic FM Magazine)
'near perfection' (BBC Music Magazine)
'gorgeously rich and charmingly expressive' (The Independent)
'Pour une première rencontre, difficile de rêver mieux' (Diapason, France)
'Miah Persson sert remarquablement ces œuvres' (Classica, France)
Since Jenny Lind in the nineteenth century, Sweden has given us many 'Swedish nightingales'. Here is one of the latest to delight us. Soprano Miah Persson is a bright and shining talent from Stockholm's Royal Swedish Opera who is rapidly winning admiration from her audiences for her roles of Susanna, Gretel, Sophie and others. As yet little known in Britain, Miss Persson has already caused a stir in France, Germany and Switzerland for her singing of Bach, Mozart, Haydn and Rossini.
Her first solo recording collects together some particularly lovely songs by four composers from her native country, including the Tannhäuser cycle of six songs by Emil Sjögren (1853-1918), to German texts by Julius Wolff.
