“…The two singers are sensitive and expressive. Soprano Kirsi Tiihonen, who has made a name for herself as a Wagner singer, has a warm and full voice that is well suited to lieder singing: she sings with commitment and drama, sometimes with intense restraint. Bass Timo Riihonen has a wide range, from dark, black bass to lyrical high notes. Pianist Terhi Dostal provides supportive accompaniment with incisive creative power. The sound recording is excellent in terms of balance and spaciousness.” ****
