Eve finds her voice as Prohaska and Drake navigate Eden’s bright spots and murkier corners. A heady selection of songs to intoxicate the senses; vivid storytelling and musicality.

Prohaska’s Eisler is excellent, and we could perhaps do with a whole disc of it...Drake, characteristically, is exemplary throughout, beautifully expressive and always alert to the subtle shifts of meaning of each song. It’s a challenging recital that in some ways surveys a greater subject than can adequately be contained on a single disc. But the best of it is very fine and infinitely rewarding.

This eclectic programme exploring musical depictions of Eve has a wonderful and rather unexpected coherence when experienced in one sitting...Prohaska is especially gripping in the songs more usually associated with male singers, giving febrile, no-holds-barred accounts of Schubert’s Auflösung and Warte, warte, wilder Schiffmann from Schumann’s Op. 24 Liederkreis.
