“… The lyrics are exquisitely understandable thanks to the singer’s excellent articulation and expressive quality. Not only does Bästlein have a pleasant timbre, but he can use his voice in a relaxed and well-formed manner without constriction. Hedayet Djeddikar offers the piano part on a Bösendorfer Imperial. The instrument has an equally pleasant full sound that carries the often orchestral approach of the piano part, as well as allowing for the warmth and gentleness helpful for vocal accompaniment… The recording is clear and present without being strained.” ****
