Strong, thoughtful and vivacious performances of these revolutionary sonatas [RCh]

A good alternative choice recording featuring some very winning performances among the cast [MP]

For chamber music lovers and admirers of John Williams alike, this should be fascinating [GF]

A powerful recording with much to commend it in spite of a few failings among the cast [MP]

(Déjà Review) Versions to return to on a regular basis [CC]

(Déjà Review) One of the finest accounts of Das Lied von der Erde ever committed to disc [JQ]

The only studio recording of Strauss’s biographical opera is a complete winner on all front [MP]
