Title: reviews from "Gramophone" and "American Record Guide"
Review: &#65279;1. Review by Timothy Lovelace, American Record Guide, March-April 1997"This disc is notable for the gorgeous voice of Marjorie Patterson and the charming songs of the young Spohr...Patterson is an impressive advocate. She varies strophes imaginatively, her diction is clear, and her voice is opulent...I recommend this release to all singers looking for neglected gems."2. Review by &#65279;John Warrack, Gramophone, February 1997"With one of Goethe's most famous lyrics, Mignon's "Kennst du das Land", genius was not burning at its brightest with eitherBeethoven, Schubert or Schumann, and though the dramatic power of Wolf's great song was hardly at Spohr's command, he did make a fine, strong, perceptive setting that deserves much wider currency. Marjorie Patterson and Daniel Sarge perform it with the conviction it deserves; they are an excellent Lieder duo, with the intelligence to sense the expressive weightof each song."
