Notes and Editorial Reviews
"In the German Requiem...the music flows naturally. It is a deeply satisfying version, with an account of the final movements both dramatic and ethereal. Aafje Heynis's lovely singing in the Alto Rhapsody...is even more dedicated and 'inner' than Kathleen Ferrier's, and the tonal shading is most beautiful."
