The performances are almost excellent… Juliane Banse is perfect, one of the finest lieder singers around, and able to cope with the heaviest climaxes. The most thrilling song of all, though, is Der Feuerreiter (The Fire-Raiser), sung here by a choir which brings it off to devastating effect. Kent Nagano's accompanying is invariably sympathetic.

It would be hard to imagine finer performances, vocally and orchestrally, than these….Dietrich Henschel, often sounding uncannily like Fischer- Dieskau, catches all the tormented yearning of the religious
songs, and brings a nonchalant bravado to Der Rattenfänger, where Wolf's garish, glittering orchestration brilliantly enhances the original.
