"This is a disc for anyone who prefers Wagner out of the opera house, and more intimate than grandiloquent. Hero and lover alike are seen at one remove, through the shimmering haze of Hans Werner Henze's chamber-orchestra scoring of the Wesendonck Lieder. Woodwind and harp lift the wings of 'The Angel', and twine in delicate fronds over 'The Greenhouse', while the ardent and sturdily enunciated voice of Jard van Nes brings them firmly down to earth."
