Awards and reviews
January 2016
he sings this selection of Schubert's Goethe settings with keen attention to detail, youthful spontaneity, and an ample, attractive sound that is reminiscent of the fine-grained tone of baritone Olaf Bär. The potential in his voice is immediately felt...Deutsch's playing is crisply voiced and textually alert throughout...teacher and pupil achieve performances that combine playfulness and sophistication.
October 2015
it is the apparent straightforwardness of approach that Mauro Peter and Helmut Deutsch bring to these wonderful songs that help make this collection so enjoyable. The young Swiss tenor's voice, a bright lyrical instrument perhaps more steely than honeyed in its core, is as clean and unaffected as his manner…for fresh, intelligent and natural Schubert this disc can be heartily recommended
3rd September 2015
he and Jonas Kaufmann have a lot in common. Peter’s voice is beefy, gleaming yet burnished – not a million miles from the young Kaufmann’s, though Peter’s comfort zone lies a notch higher...his assured delivery holds the attention throughout. Perhaps, like Kaufmann, at this early stage of his career, Peter is not yet the Lieder interpreter he will be. But what there is here is ample to be going on with.
Classical Music December 2015
As he showed in a recent Schöne Müllerin on Wigmore Hall live, Peter is blessed with a winning combination of rich, multi-shaded voice, penetrating insight and a genuine freshness of approach. Well-known songs emerge newly minted, while less-familiar items are delightfully done.
