“the German tenor’s stage experience shows in his vivid emotions and searing fortissimos. Lieder skills come through even more strongly. Words are clearly enunciated. Dynamics are carefully graded, along with the arc of each song. There’s also his close rapport with the responsive Deutsch…Flexibility and textual clarity are the two assets that put this Winterreise in the top class.” -The Times, 21st February 2014

“For sheer vocal splendour, Jonas Kaufmann is unrivalled in Winterreise since Jon Vickers…[his] combination of vocal beauty and verbal sensitivity (his diction always a model), and the fastidiously textured and coloured playing of Helmut Deutsch, make this new recording an important addition to the vast Winterreise discography.” -Gramophone Magazine, May 2014

“Every nuance of the text is reflected and enacted – so much so that some listeners may find the approach too ‘operatic’. Yet the vividness of the journey…is utterly convincing. A superb partnership, with recorded sound to match.” -Classical Music
