Fink has clearly thought through the expressive language of these lovely songs, and Christoph Berner is a near-ideal accompanist. The Moravian Duets...are, over all, the most enjoyable part of this issue: expressive, resonant and brimming over with good humour...The Biblical Songs are delivered with care and sincerity...these well recorded performances have much to recommend them.

Encouraged by Christoph Berner's zesty, colourful accompaniments, Genia Kuhmeier and Bernarda Fink give thoroughly delightful performances, combining eager characterisation...with a crucial sense of spontaneous enjoyment...Kuhmeier catches both the flaring intensity and the nostalgic tenderness of the Gypsy Songs...[Fink] reveals a more impassioned temperament than I had previously suspected.

What a lovely performance [Fink] gives. Almost all the songs are slow and with a less sensitive interpreter than Fink they can seem dull at times, but not here: calm, soothing, reverential, delicate but not dull...Delights a-plenty come in Moravian Duets, whatever the mood, showing how well two female voices can blend.

Fink and Kühmeier sing [the Moravian duets] with great verve, avoiding the pitfalls of sentimentality and folksy cuteness that can so easily creep into this music. ...Kühmeier gives a big, passionate performance of the Op 55 Gypsy Songs, while Fink tackles the austere Biblical Songs, written while Dvořák was homesick in the US. They suit her dark tone admirably
