Even the reflective songs have an urgent, restless undertow...While this isn't the most scrupulously sung Schöne Müllerin on offer...Holzmair's sympathetic, tenorish baritone and quicksilver response to mood and verbal nuance are never less than compelling.

Holzmair breathes meaning into every phrase, earthy but ruminative. Parsons’ support is intuitive and subtly inspiring.
