November 2020
Hasselhorn’s ductile baritone, with its dark middle register and free-ringing top, is a fine, wholesome instrument; and he uses it with imagination and an unexaggerated relish for the German language...Middleton invariably makes something special of Schumann’s postludes..this is a compelling debut recital from a young baritone who is clearly one of the most gifted and natural lieder singers of his generation.
September 2020
The voice is beautifully secure and even throughout its wide range, and the top in particular is rock-solid and incisive without any hint of harshness. Highlights include a pacey but bluster-free Die beiden Grenadiere, and superbly involving accounts of Die Löwenbraut and Belsatzar - he and Middleton certainly know how to tell a good story together.

[The Kerner-Lieder] suit Hasselhorn’s rich, dark sound very well and highlight his ability to evoke emotional extremes, without ever losing his poise or sense of style.
