"Richard Dünser has orchestrated seven [Zemlinsky miniatures] to form a very convincing song cycle exploring the themes of night and dreams. Mezzo-soprano Jenny Carlstedt delivers Zemlinsky's highly expressive vocal lines with great warmth and sensitivity, and the Lapland Chamber Orchestra under John Storgårds provides suitably intimate accompaniments" (BBC Music)

"Storgårds's performance with his Lapland Chamber Orchestra is finely shaped and beautifully played…[Sieben Lieder] is beautifully sung here by dark-voiced mezzo Jenny Carlstedt, while Storgårds mines the lapidary accompaniments for all they are worth" (The Gramophone)

Tracks:

Rubáiyát (Song cycle for baritone and orchestra)
