“This compilation of songs has been chosen with great care and reveals a very fine mezzo soprano, and a pianist that I would regard as exceptional. The works present composers that are all unique but effective and there is not a weak one amongst them. If you like a disc of songs that you won't have heard before, with exceptional artists, then this is one for you.”
