Iris Vermillion (mezzo-soprano)
Juliane Banse (soprano)
Andreas Schmidt (baritone)
Helmut Deutsch (piano)


“The linchpin here is pianist Helmut Deutsch, who is articulate, insightful and formidably strong throughout...Incredibly moving, above all, if you listen to the disc from start to finish in a single sitting.”
The Guardian, 7th January 2010 *****

“Andreas Schmidt tackles [the Four Serious Songs], bringing a dark, brooding quality to the sombre gravitas of these moving reflections on life and death...Juliane Banse's two contributions...are both neat and appealing.”
BBC Music Magazine, August 2010 ***
