(4 out of 5 stars)
"Thomas Hampson's wonderful baritone voice shines in his CD "A Portrait of Thomas Hampson - From Bach to Zemlinsky." The songs vary greatly from one another, showcasing Mr. Hampson's ability to adjust his voicings to accuratlely reflect the spirit of the piece."
A perfect introduction

"If you have never heard Thomas Hampson sing, this is the perfect introduction. Every Lied/aria is beautiful, beautifully sung. Thomas Hampson has awakened me for Verdi, Puccini, Bach, and others, whom I thought I did not like. But no matter what the composers are, his voice is just out of this world. Beautiful, sweet, velvety, when it needs to be so. It truly lifts me up out of this world, onto a higher plane of existence - a bit like the final song of "Das Lied von der Erde". Extatic!"
