Notes & Reviews:

"The Bostonian pianist and composer Amy Beach was a prolific writer of songs, full of expressive melody both for the voice and, occasionally, for an added violin of cello or both... a group of German settings points up the influence of Schumann. Emma Kirkby, so long the queen of early music, seems an unlikely choice for songs surely conceived for a more operatic voice and manner, but her immaculate tuning and care for the words prove winning." ***** - Anthony Burton BBC

"Emma Kirkby sings with her customary purity of tone and powers of sweetly softening" - Gramophone
