"Loving, caressingly phrased accompaniments... wonderful solo playing by the Vienna Philharmonic woodwind and gorgeous, silken string tone. Hampson has a beautiful, honeyed voice, very expressive, and his diction is exemplary. He darkens or lightens his tone in accordance with the sense of the text and responds alertly to Bernstein s subtleties of phrasing" (Gramophone) "Lenny enabled me to deliver myself up to Mahler." (Thomas Hampson). "Popp sings with unaffected accomplishment" (Gramophone).
