Rheinmädchen

"ambitious, sometimes unexpected and yet always fascinating in its juxtapositions and comparisons (...) The singing from this French choral ensemble is both refined and characterful and the recording, made in a resonant church in Paris, adds bloom to the voices and provides ample atmosphere for the horns and harp without muddying the harmonies".

"as a potted history of the use of canon form by German romantics, the disc works very well (...) Moreover, the performances themselves are of high quality: the instrumentalists are beyond reproach, Fink is good, and Pygmalion's female singers are in most respects exemplary, particularly in the matter of intonation".
