Reviews
Editor's Choice: 'A match made in heaven deliver a corker of a concept album ... Prohaska bends and wields her darkly-coloured, rich soprano with feline ease, and Kopatchinskaja matches her with her own glowing, sinuous phrasing.'
Limelight
'The musical journey is compelling.'
BBC Music Magazine
'There's no mistaking the beauty of Prohaska's singing here.'
Gramophone
'It’s a thoughtfully put together collection, beautifully paced and presented.'
