Rezensionen

G. Schubert in FonoForum 3/89:"Die histo- rische Spielweise der Instrumente und die dy- namische Artikulation der Stimmen führen zu musikalisch außerordentlich reichen Ergebnis- sen. Jedes liebevoll ausmusizierte Detail trägt zur Steigerung des Ausdrucks und zur Charak- terisierung der inneren Situation bei."
