"there's the simplest matching of music to words to remind us what a craftsman Marx was. That is a greatly underestimated virtue. We owe a debt to Kirchschlager for taking this craftsman's songs under her wing and letting them soar again."
(International Record Review Jan 2011)

CPO is delighted to present the acclaimed Austrian mezzo-soprano Angelika Kirchschlager in her debut recording for CPO. Kirchschlager, one of today's most renowned lieder singers, was absolutely captivated by the lyrical charm and the incredibly multifaceted expressive power of Marx's songs.

Kirchschlager is joined by Anthony Spiri on the piano and together they have produced an exemplary recording for CPO. The songs from the Italienisches Liederbuch of 1912 display all sorts of different moods (dramatic, delightful, gloomy, humorous), and one quickly understands why Marx's compositions were so popular during his lifetime.

"One of the world's finest lyric mezzo-sopranos" The Times
