February 2019
[Loges] is a trusty guide, using the text intelligently and without exaggeration, and the voice is sturdy and reliable…This is a sensitive, touching account of this great cycle, with Iain Burnside offering fine piano-playing, but it’s difficult not to recall other favourite recordings.
