Murray’s intelligence shines through across the complete cycle, with clever interpretative touches in the strophic songs…his German is natural and idiomatic, the words sitting unobtrusively on phrases that are beautifully turned…a beguiling performance, one delighting in the cycle’s melodic pleasures and Schubertian grace

Murray sings like a young man, his lightness of touch and vocal agility completely winning. There’s a disarming honesty to his approach, as you’d expect from someone who’s been singing the work for years.
