Awards and reviews
27th July 2013
The use of a variety of voice-types rules out sameness, but the singers bring varying degrees of fantasy, so that quality is inconsistent. In the Lenau set, Huntley’s mezzo, noble in timbre and confidential in tone, does fulsome justice to “Traurige Wege” and “Herbstentschluss”
Awards Issue 2013
The quality of sound in these latest discs in Stone's Wolf series is wonderfully vivid and full of presence. As before, the formula is to present Wolf's songs in logical groups sung by talented young singers with fresh voices...Kynoch is an excellent accompanist throughout.
