" The performance is a triumph, with Johnston’s even-timbered, commanding voice that has just enough edge to make this a very compelling reading. Singer and pianist are at least equal partners in these songs; the vocal line carries the story in austere and sometimes angular style as the pianist employs a wide variety of virtuosic technique to convey much of the meaning. It’s a wonderfully creative counterpoint to Schumann’s cycle..."
