CD Reviews

Great Album

L. Brooks | Phoenix, Maryland United States | 05/15/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The two singers on this album have appeared on many excellent classical recordings. Perhaps, because they have not made many solo recordings, they do not have the name recognition they deserve. Their performances on this recording are outstanding and the sound quality of the recording captures voice and piano in a perfect balance. If you like lieder, you will treasure this album."

Truly inspired piano accompaniment!

"Leon Fleisher's epilogue to Dichterliebe in "Die alten, bosen Lieder" alone would be worth the price of this disc! John Shirley-Quirk's diction of the German Heinrich Heine poems sounds idiomatic enough to my ear, by the way, that I understand every word (not so obvious as it may seem!), certainly more so than Charles Panzera's in the other best-accompanied Dichterliebe ever - the famous historical one with Alfred Cortot. If only Fritz Wunderlich had performed with a pianist of this caliber! But: you can't have everything, and Shirley-Quirk does as well as anyone in modern times - that he lacks a little in youthful freshness may be true, but honestly, who cares when the overall result is such a rare success?

Greetings from Switzerland, David."

Fleisher's the whole show, I'm afraid

Santa Fe Listener | Santa Fe, NM USA | 04/09/2008

(2 out of 5 stars)

"It's a bit baffling to find that this disc dates from 1996, since Leon Fleisher's well-publicized recovery from the dystonia that had severely weakened his right hand didn't occur until a few years ago. I think the secret is that he could attempt these very short piano accompaniments with rest in between. He achieves lovely, rather soft-grained playing with beautiful phrasing.

Is that enough to salvage the singing of two artists in their sixties? I'm afraid not. Despite many touches of their former selves, both Shirley-Quirk and Bryn-Julson are understandably cautious, and both sound old, not to put too fine a point on it."
