Sommer seems to have preferred an easy-going romanticism to anything more boldly dramatic or expressionistic...Sommer could not have hoped for more eloquent advocacy than the marvellously refined mezzo of Elisabeth Kulman, her verbal clarity and sense of line in both Sapphos Gesange and the Goethe settings a joy to hear in nicely balanced recordings...[Skovhus] shows a keen appreciation of texts which are archetypally Romantic
