The quality of sound in these latest discs in Stone’s Wolf series is wonderfully vivid and full of presence … Presentation is first-rate … Anna Huntley, nicely evocative … pointedly sung by Bejamin Hulett … well brought out by Marcus Farnsworth … Birgid Steinberger shading her tone beautifully. Sholto Kynoch is the excellent accompanist throughout … Another splendidly wide-ranging selection of songs. (Gramophone)
These pioneer recordings are the most significant achievement of the Oxford Lieder project, and on that count alone it represents a landmark. But Kynoch’s commitment to live performance by young singers should not be diminished by comparison with the all-time great recordings. It renews the lifeblood of a long tradition, which has found a thriving home in Oxford. (Oxford Today)
