"Alles in allem ist dieses herzerwärmende Album also eine große Bereicherung im Bereich historische Liedinterpretation; einmal mehr wird klar, dass in den Rundfunkarchiven noch Schätze schlummern, deren allmähliches Wiederauftauchen die Interpretationsgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts noch nachhaltig zu beeinflussen geeignet sind." (Rondo)
"The American Barry McDaniel inevitably sang in the shadow of Fischer-Dieskau; but this double CD reveals his deeply thoughtful baritone, in superbly accompanied Lieder and mélodie." (BBC Music Magazine)
This first release of Lieder sung by Barry McDaniel impressively documents that the American baritone – contrary to media-driven perception, which unjustly tended to class him in the shadow of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, who was five years his senior – was one of the outstanding singers in the post-war era. His interpretations are characterised by an interleaving of knowledge and naivety, feeling and craftsmanship, expression and impeccable singing. "Whatever I sing, I have to believe in it." That is exactly how these recordings sound.
