"Encouraged by Christoph Berner's zesty, colourful accompaniments, Genia Kuhmeier and Bernarda Fink give thoroughly delightful performances, combining eager characterisation…with a crucial sense of spontaneous enjoyment… Kuhmeier catches both the flaring intensity and the nostalgic tenderness of the Gypsy Songs…[Fink] reveals a more impassioned temperament than I had previously suspected."
