Mahler: Das Lied Von Der Erde

"[Coote's] singing may not be as sumptuous as some, but it is exquisitely coloured; every word matters, and the sadness that pervades the mezzo songs in particular is conveyed without it ever becoming self-conscious or sentimental...well worth hearing, especially for Coote's contribution" Guardian

"Coote takes Dame Janet Baker's rapt introspection to a new level; Fritz has the vocal stamina but can seem a little ungainly...[Albrecht's] vocal exhortations inspire sympathetic playing even if the sadness, loss and ultimate serenity of 'Der Abschied' remain the special province of his soloist."
